| | Nutrition during pregnancy and in early childhood is critically important in supporting the health and wellbeing of mothers and their children. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's food and nutrition programs are well-positioned to make progress in maternal and infant health and nutrition this year, and will invest across the centers and offices involved in its foods program to make improvements in key areas related to food safety and nutrition. The investments outlined in the FDA's FY 2022 budget request include important funding to core food safety programs that require significant investments to address unmet public health funding needs, as well as emerging issues of concern. One of those areas is maternal and infant health and nutrition. Some of the food safety investments include bolstering the funding provided to programs that are responsible for maternal and infant nutrition and providing much needed additional funds to address numerous emerging food-related chemical and toxicological issues. | | | |
