First-ever community-based medically tailored grocery standards will ensure more neighbors facing hunger can access food tailored to support chronic health conditions

Feeding America·September 22, 2026
First-ever community-based medically tailored grocery standards will ensure more neighbors facing hunger can access food tailored to support chronic health conditions

Feeding America and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have released the first national standards for community-based medically tailored groceries (MTGs). Developed by registered dietitian nutritionists, these standards aim to translate nutrition science into community-based care to better support individuals managing chronic health conditions.
