US grain and feed industry concerned about initial MAHA report
(Posted on 31/05/25)
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission has released a report that outlined potential contributors to chronic disease in children and called for additional research in areas that affect U.S. agriculture.
The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) issued the following statement about the report:
“The approximately 700 companies and cooperatives represented by NGFA play an essential role in rural economies and in delivering value from the farm gate to consumers. Our members, and the farmers and workers they support, are a cornerstone of what makes America great.
“The United States has long enjoyed the safest and most affordable food supply in the world. While we support science-based policies to constantly improve U.S. agriculture and safeguard public health, efforts based on unfounded or incomplete assumptions threaten to undermine that system. The MAHA Commission’s report makes several concerning assertations with potential ripple effects on the grain and feed industry, including calls for reevaluating ingredients used in food and feed, incorrect statements regarding seed oils and processed grains, and increasing scrutiny of the safe and effective inputs our farmers depend on to produce food for the world.
“NGFA is closely reviewing the report and will continue working with the broader agricultural community and the Trump Administration to ensure that policymaking is rooted in sound science and respects the vital role of American agriculture in nourishing the American public and fueling the American economy.”
