Dairy Workshop for Kroger Dietitians

Your dairy checkoff program recently had the opportunity to educate 20 Kroger registered dietitians and patient care staff on all things dairy from farm to table. The day-long Dairy Sustainability, Culinary and Nutrition Workshop began with a virtual farm tour highlighting the journey milk takes from farm to

fridge, along with animal care, sustainability practices and food safety regulations. Additional sessions provided tools to communicate nutrition messages and debunk common dairy myths including those on immunity, digestive health, inflammation, whole fat dairy, and plant-based eating, as well as hands-on experience developing recipes and taking styled food photographs.

The workshop was held at Kroger’s new state of the art culinary kitchen at their headquarters in Cincinnati. The dietitians will use their dairy knowledge in client counseling through Telehealth across the country and to help customers make informed food choices.

This event is one example of how ADA Mideast works to educate individuals who influence others about healthy eating, like registered dietitians, school nutrition directors, pediatricians and school nurses, so that they become advocates for dairy and recommend milk, cheese and yogurt as part of a healthy diet.
