| | With a majority of its nearly year-long reorganization efforts now complete, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is ushering in a new era.
The reorganization, which effectively created a distinct Human Foods Program (HFP), was approved in May and went into effect on Tuesday; the overhaul was executed to help the agency better address the importance of nutrition, reduce diet-related diseases, strengthen state partnerships and embrace innovative food and agricultural technologies. In practice, this will allow the FDA to more effectively regulate and uphold the safety of the nation’s food supply.

✨ What You Need to Know ✨ |
| | Stoked Oats announced it is moving beyond the breakfast aisle for the first time this week with the launch of Stoked OatRice, an alternative rice product made from unprocessed oats grown in Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) fields in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Montana.
🔍 This new innovation utilizes the oat groat, which co-founder and CEO Simon Donato claims is similar in size and shape to a short rice grain and offers a similar taste when cooked. ✨ Brands such as RightRice, Banza and Kaizen Food Company sell their own iterations of rice alternatives; notably all of those items include a combination or base of beans and legumes. 🔊 “We don’t feel that we are fitting a round peg into a square hole with this product, as some other rice alternatives seem to be doing,” said Donato. Check out the full story for a complete understanding of how oats fit into the alt-rice category. |
