- TruServ® Whole Food Ingredients Can Help Consumers Bridge the Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Gap
The TruServ® program was developed to answer the call to bring convenient, transparent fruit and vegetable servings to better-for-you products.
Based on the newly published USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. consumers fall significantly short of daily recommendations for fruit and vegetable servings.
80% of the US population does not meet the average recommended servings of two cups of fruit per day, and 90% does not meet the average recommended servings of two and a half cups of vegetables per day.
While many consumers may understand the benefits of making nutrient-dense, whole foods a regular part of their diet, their desire for convenience and taste, or sometimes just a lack of access, out- weighs healthy choices.
