Sarah Ludmer, Del Monte Foods' in-house nutritionist, will be at the conference to share with dieticians the many health benefits of Del Monte Foods' consumer products. Conference attendees will sample Del Monte(R) Fruit Naturals and Fruit Chillers Tubes -- two of the brand's recent healthy, convenient snack innovations -- as well as taste easy recipes made with products including Del Monte(R) No Salt Added Summer Crisp Corn and Del Monte(R) Diced Tomatoes with Garlic and Onion.

"Surveys have shown that most Americans get only about one-third of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables every day -- fresh, canned, frozen or otherwise. They're not getting all the powerful nutrients they should, such as antioxidant vitamins like vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, fiber and plant nutrients like lycopene," said Ludmer. "Del Monte Foods' canned and packaged foods are a healthy, practical and convenient way to get dinner on the table quickly, enjoy out-of-season fruits and vegetables and do it at a reasonable cost without sacrificing good nutrition. We enjoy coming to the ADA conference each year to share with dieticians how our products can play a part in improving the diets of Americans nationwide."
