AHPA Forms New
Indicating just how far food and beverage companies have come with regard to marketing to children, GMA pointed out, “Since 2002, 98% of our members have improved the nutrition profile of their products; 83% have improved the information they include on food labels; more than half are making changes to package sizes, including single-serve and kid-sizes, to help consumers manage their caloric intake; and more than 90% of respondents are promoting healthy lifestyles and three-quarters are in partnership with public health organizations.”
The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), Silver Spring, MD, recently chartered three new special committees: the Ayurvedic Herbal Products Committee, the Animal Products Committee and the Hoodia gordonii Committee. Each of these committees was formed in response to requests by AHPA members with an interest in addressing issues related to these topics. Each of the new committees has a described purpose of promoting and protecting responsible commerce in its particular area of focus. Thus, the Hoodia gordonii Committee exists to promote and protect responsible commerce of products that contain hoodia.
