Nutrition and taste have always had a place at Today’s Table, but now, you’ll receive the same great content from the Canned Food Alliance in a shorter, more convenient-to-read format. You can look forward to receiving the latest in culinary trends, topics in nutrition and new research – plus printable resources for your use – every other month in 2009.

In this issue:

• Wondering what’s coming up with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines? Find out what issues are at the forefront of the deliberations and how canned foods can play a role.
