Research Results
Since 1995, the Canned Food Alliance has been commissioning research studies that test and examine the nutritional values (vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.) of canned food alone as well as versus its fresh and frozen counterparts when prepared in a recipe. Studies to that effect have been conducted and published by the University of Illinois, the University of Massachusetts and most recently, the University of California, Davis.
This year, with the Rutgers University study entitled "The State of the American Diet: How we can Cope," the Canned Food Alliance began to examine and identify the factors that influence food consumption. This information has been used to develop key learnings to help educate consumers about what can be done to fix the current state of the American diet.
