The Grain Foods Foundation is a small, Washington, DC-based nonprofit established in 2004 as a joint venture of members from the baking and milling industries and allied suppliers. Its work centers on nutrition education programming that is grounded in scientific evidence, developed in collaboration with a Scientific Advisory Board comprised of nutrition and healthcare experts. Serving professionals and organizations involved in grain-based foods, the foundation aims to provide fact-based information to help address public questions about nutrition and health related to grain products. Positioned within the food and beverage services sector, the foundation focuses on education and outreach rather than product development or direct consumer sales, operating with a compact staff and a regional base in the United States. A recent development noted is the organization’s ongoing partnership with a multidisciplinary group of experts to support its evidence-based educational initiatives.
