BARRETT: Good morning, if we can go ahead and take a seat. I feel like the microphone is working really well, so, I will try not to talk too loud. Okay. You guys are really responsive. Thank you. All right. Well, I just want to welcome everyone to today’s public meeting. We’re focused on FDA’s Comprehensive, Multi-Year Nutrition Innovation Strategy. My name is Kari Barrett and I work in our Office of Foods and Veterinary Medicine, on the Public Engagement Communication Team. And we’ll be moderating today’s meeting. I know today that there’s a great deal of interest in the issues that we’re going to be covering, and I just want to thank everyone in the room for being here. I also want to note, our very large webcast group that’s also participating, and thank them for their time today as well. Before we jump in, there’s always a housekeeping. I’ve tried over time to make this as brief as I can, but let me mention a couple of things. You should know that today we are webcasting live. And when this meeting is over, we will have a transcript that we will publish to our website on the meeting page. We will have -- later, when we have the breakout sessions, the breakout sessions in this room will be webcast. The others will not. And for those - - for all the breakout sessions, we’ll be taking some notes we go along and we plan to put those notes into the docket as well since there won’t be a full transcript for the Breakout. I do want to note that everyone here should have a folder that you got at the registration desk. It does have the agenda. It notes for the breakouts the various rooms that they’re in. We also have short bios for everybody, so today, as we move through the agenda, we’re just going to note speakers by name and title, and not give that background. For media, if you haven’t checked in with Jen Dorren, I’m looking around for Jen, she may be out, ah, FDA’s Comprehensive, Multi-Year Nutrition Innovation Strategy 7/26/18 Page 5 in the back, Okay. Please do check-in with her if you haven’t already. I also want to note, here again, -- if you’re signed up to give public comment this afternoon, if you can see Juanita Yates, you can always check-in at the registration desk, just so she knows you are here and you still intend to give that comment. I think many of you have found that we don’t have Wi-Fi in this room. I’m sorry about that, but it is available if you go out into the restaurant area and the public spaces of the hotel. Also, in regard to parking, if you parked here today, you do need to pay your parking at the hotel desk. Excuse me. There isn’t the ability to pay in the garage, so you just need to be aware of that. Also, I want to say for lunch, if you plan to eat here in the restaurant, they will be offering a buffet. And as well as the – the regular menus so you might want to keep that in mind as an option. Restrooms are right across the hall. Exit signs just are in the back of the room. Phones, please, everybody, silence them. We always appreciate that. And if you have any general questions or need assistance, please go to the registration desk and they’ll be happy to help you. So, with that, let’s jump into the program. I have the pleasure this morning of introducing our first two speakers. We’re very pleased to have our FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb with us this morning. As well as, Susan Mayne, who is our director of our FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. So, Dr. Gottlieb, I’ll hand this over to you. DR. GOTTLIEB: Thanks a lot. And thanks for joining us here today. I want to welcome all of you to FDA’s Nutrition Innovation Strategy Public Meeting. I’m really pleased to see how many people have joined us today, not just in person, but we have hundreds of people as you’ve heard on the webcast, so it’s -- it’s good to see the interest in what we’re doing and we appreciate it very much. In March, I announced this strategy as a way FDA’s Comprehensive, Multi-Year Nutrition Innovation Strategy 7/26/18 Page 6 to reduce the burden of chronic disease by improving the nutritional status of Americans. I described how consumers want more information about the foods they eat, and that these trends provide a unique opportunity to empower individuals who are using nutrition to improve their health and the health of their families. The food industry is innovating to give people more of what they want, and we need to encourage this trend. I believe that FDA can help advance the public health by empowering consumers with information and facilitating industry innovation towards healthier foods that consumers want. As a person who cares about his health and as a parent who wants his children to have long, healthy lives, I have a deep personal interest in these issues and this strategy. And I think we all do here today. Whether in government or the food industry, we’re all consumers. We all have families and we all have a stake in the success of this strategy and it hits us all in our homes. That’s what this public meeting is about. We want to hear your ideas about how we can advance the proposals that we’ve talked about to modernize our approach to better protect public health while removing barriers to innovation that can lead to better products and more choices for consumers. Leveraging nutrition to advance public health is one of my top priorities as Commissioner. We work very hard on a lot of new ideas. Nutrition Innovation Strategy provides us with tremendous opportunity to take a fresh look at what can be done to reduce preventable disease and disease related to poor nutrition. We can’t change all the factors that contribute to chronic diseases, but improved nutrition is one that we can change if we work together. The fact that FDA regulates 80 percent of America’s food supply highlights the potential impact of our efforts to take a fresh look at our nutrition-related responsibilities. FDA has a long history of working to provide the American public with tools to make informed dietary choices. Most recently, we’ve been working to implement the first major overhaul of the Nutrition Facts Label FDA’s Comprehensive, Multi-Year Nutrition Innovation Strategy 7/26/18 Page 7 in more than 20 years and to provide consumers with calorie and other nutrition information to certain eating establishments, such as restaurants. We also continue to have a strong interest in voluntary efforts to reduce sodium in the food supply. This is one of the most effective public health actions we can take, and we’re awaiting the results of the National Academy of Medicine’s Dietary Reference Intake study to inform our next steps. These activities will continue to be high priorities of mine and of the agency. Today, I’m delighted that this meeting will be taking a close look at three elements of our strategy: Modernizing our approach to claims, modernizing standards of identity, and modernizing ingredient information. These three new elements have the potential to help the many consumers that are seeking healthier options and are more interested in learning about the foods they eat.

Hemodialysis requires adherence to a complex diet that restricts nutrients in order to reduce complications and improve quality of life. However, dietary nonadherence is extremely prevalent in this population with many etiologies considered. The purpose of this study was to determine if renal nutrition knowledge differed between patients who are adherent and nonadherent to a renal diet. Participants were adult hemodialysis patients with a diagnosis of end stage renal disease who completed a questionnaire that tested their knowledge of renal diet components and the medical complications associated with nonadherence.

  • 1.11 Diet Reference Guide
    RENAL DIET The guidelines below have been developed as a quick reference to help you guide your patients in regards to any queries regarding their renal diet. Goals of the Renal Diet Help prevent nutritional deficiencies Help prevent fluid retention Keep blood level within normal limits, by controlling potassium, phosphorous and sodium intake Maintain and protect bone strength Maintain a healthy body weight 1) Protein Intake: An adequate protein intake is important for growth and repair of body tissues. It helps fight infections and prevents muscle loss. The amount of protein required depends on individual requirements and form of renal replacement therapy. Most protein foods are high in phosphate. During dialysis patients lose some of their good protein, Albumin. Here are some ideas to help boost protein intake while maintaining a normal phosphate level. Protein is found in plant and animal foods. The protein from animal origin is more readily absorbed by the body. The plant sources tend to be high in phosphate or potassium so the animal sources are better for the body. ANIMAL SOURCES PLANT SOURCES (limit) Red meat (lamb/beef) Lentils Chicken Beans Fish Dried peas Cottage Cheese Soya Egg white Peanuts Fish paste Peanut butter Tuna Try to include a low phosphate protein with 2 meals every day. Although dairy products like milk and cheese are good sources of protein, they are high in phosphate. One can include a ½ cup of milk or yoghurt + either 1 egg or a small amount of cheese in the diet daily. HIGH PROTEIN BOOSTERS Try and include 1 – 2 of these high protein boosters in the diet every week to help boost your Albumin level.

  • Principles of Renal Diet (For Persons with Kidney Disease)
    PRINCIPLES OF RENAL DIET (FOR PERSONS WITH KIDNEY DISEASE) Renal diet is a special diet designed for people with kidney disease. The normal kidneys remove waste, extra water and substances from the body, and turn them into urine. Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys become damaged and lose their functions over the years. Following a renal diet can slow down kidney damage and prevent waste and fluid buildup. Since each person’s kidney function and treatment are different, it is important to consult your doctor or a dietitian to design an individualized meal plan to meet your needs. In general, a renal diet limits foods that are high in phosphorous, sodium, potassium, protein and fluids. Phosphorus Phosphorus is a mineral found in many foods. Too much phosphorus in the body can pull calcium from bones and lead to bone fracture or bone disease. *In general, limit daily intake of phosphorous to less than 1000 mg. Refer to table below: Limit: milk, cola. yogurt, cheese, tofu, meats. brown rice, whole grain products dried beans and peas, nuts and seeds, chocolate, processed foods. Sodium Sodium is a mineral found in salt and in many other foods. Since the kidneys are losing their ability to remove wastes and fluid, too much sodium intake can build up fluid in the body leading to thirst, swelling, high blood pressure, stroke and congestive heart failure. *In general, limit daily sodium intake to less than 2000 mg; choose products with less than 300 mg per serving. Refer to table below: Choose Limit Fresh and unprocessed foods.
