PFMA Statement on Dietary Guidance and Retail Food Access
Retailers across the Commonwealth and Country are always working to meet consumer demand, and providing healthy, affordable options has long been part of that effort. PFMA members, including grocers, convenience stores, wholesalers, and businesses across the food supply chain, serve communities with diverse needs, preferences, and budgets. Offering choice and access is fundamental to how food businesses support the people they serve every day.
Ultimately, we believe consumers are best equipped to make decisions for their families. Our members focus on providing a wide variety of products and options that allow shoppers to balance health, affordability, and personal choice.
