Dear Friends of Whole Grains,

We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new website! With the new site, whole grain recipes and resources are right at your fingertips.

There is also an improved Stamped product database, making it easier to search among the 11,000+ products approved to use the Whole Grain Stamp. Best of all, products in which at least 50% of the grain is whole will be indicated as such online.

Visit wholegrainscouncil.org today and let us know what you think!

UPCOMING EVENTS      

WHOLE GRAINS CONFERENCE, SEPT 25-27 IN CHICAGO!
Our next conference, Whole Grains Away from Home, will primarily focus on whole grains in foodservice. If you work in food or nutrition (at a restaurant, as a dietitian or health professional, as a food writer, or as a business owner) join us in Chicago to learn about how you can leverage the next area of whole grain growth. Book your room today; our discounted hotel block ends August 29, or when the block runs out of rooms, whichever comes first.

Oldways is a CPE Accredited Provider with the Commission on Dietetic Registration. This conference offers 10 credits of continuing education for registered dietitians.

Learn more about the conference here.
