Of course, this list of priorities isn’t exhaustive. Other critical policy areas in which FMI and our members are engaged include reauthorization of the Farm Bill, strengthening federal nutrition assistance programs, addressing ongoing supply chains challenges, improving sustainable packaging and

recycling, reducing food waste, and ensuring safe shopping experiences for customers in communities across the country. As the 118th Congress begins its work in earnest, we see plenty of opportunities on the horizon to engage policymakers

and regulators in developing solutions that address the biggest challenges our industry faces. FMI looks forward to working with Congress in a bipartisan manner to ensure our members continue to be able to fulfill their mission to feed families and enrich lives.
