The White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health was held at the White House on September 28. This is the first such event in more than 50 years. Kroger was the only grocer to be invited to participate in critical conversations about how:

• Improve access and availability of food products;

• Integration of nutrition and health;

• Empower all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices; and

• Expansion of research in the field of nutrition and food security.
