While traveling the world might not be at the top of your to-do list right now that shouldn’t stop you from tasting the flavors of these places. So this week let’s head to Italy, shall we? We have some amazing products on our shelves to get your taste buds coming alive. So let’s talk about the differences between what our current recommendations are versus theirs.

While the US has the plate method divided into 5 sections, Italy is divided into 4 sections with 13 directives which encompass the majority of our guidelines. A few that standout because they are directly called out are: (1) Follow special recommendations for target groups; (2) Be careful of dieting and misuse of dietary supplements; (3) Food safety depends also on you; (4) Select a sustainable diet. What’s interesting about these is, it puts the end user at the forefront and asks them to take care of their health rather than not addressing the issues at all.
