Healthy Retail Webinar Series: Grocery Store Nudges & Food Formulations, 4/21/16

Next week, join us for the third webinar in our 2016 Healthy Retail Webinar Series on how grocery store nudges and food formulations can influence food decisions. Grocery store nudges can support positive or negative health outcomes. By placing certain foods in more prominent places, thereby increasing visibility, availability, and accessibility, retailers nudge their customers to select some foods over others. Food companies also design products so that they will market themselves in supermarkets. Foods formulated to induce consumption often have high levels of salt, sugar, and fat, and the food formulations available to people influence their diets. This webinar offers 1.0 CPEU for RDNs.

 

Our colleagues at The Food Trust will be co-hosting this webinar on Thursday, April 21 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET (11:00 am to 12:00 pm PT). Click here to register.

 

The speakers for this webinar are Dr. Michael F. Jacobson, CSPI President, and Dr. Collin Payne, Co-Director of the Consumer Behavior Lab at New Mexico State University.
