Governor Bobby Jindal and Frey Farms CEO Sarah Frey Commend the International Dairy Foods Association and the Trump Administration on Their Efforts to Make America Healthy Again

Washington D.C.— Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) issued the following statement from Governor Bobby Jindal, Chair of AFPI’s Healthy America initiative and Sarah Frey, Senior Advisor for Rural Policy and AFPI’s Farmers First initiative:

“Last week the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) announced that they are taking the initiative to help Make America Healthy Again through their Healthy Dairy in Schools Commitment. We applaud this action, undertaken voluntarily by America’s dairy industry to eliminate the use of certified artificial colors in dairy products sold to K-12 schools for use in the National School Lunch Program and/or School Breakfast Program, as a key example of proactive private industry-based efforts to put Americans and their health first.

We also commend the Trump Administration for taking the lead on committing to fight diet-related chronic disease and encouraging fresh food production and healthier eating habits. America’s farmers and food and beverage manufacturers are essential to making Americans healthier and we encourage more industries to look to the IDFA commitment as a model for following that lead.”
