The Grain Foods Foundation, a joint venture of members of the milling and baking industries formed in 2004, is dedicated to advancing the public's understanding of the beneficial role grain-based foods play in the human diet. At a time when the nutrition debate has taken center stage on the public agenda and Americans have become overwhelmed with often conflicting and sometimes suspect nutritional advice, healthy doses of common sense, wholesome goodness and sound science are desperately needed. With a rallying cry of "Bread. It's Essential," this Foundation is committed to programming that is deeply rooted in the science and is working together with the Grain Foods Foundation Advisory Board, a multidisciplinary cross-section of nationally recognized nutrition and healthcare experts, to ensure this benchmark is met every step of the way.
Directed by a board of trustees, funding for the Foundation is provided through voluntary donations from private grain-based food companies and is supplemented by industry associations.
