AGENDA

[0:00–0:30]
Healthcare Foodservice: Where Do Balanced Proteins Fit?

John Stoddard | Health Care Without Harm

John loves food and spends most of his day thinking about what he will make for dinner. When he isn’t meal planning, John leads the organization’s work with the health care sector on the intersection between food and climate. He supports health care in implementing plant-forward menus, and in reducing food waste through source reduction and donation. He earned his Master of Science from Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition specializing in the Agriculture, Food, and Environment program.

We’ll discuss:

• How food purchasing and menu decisions work within healthcare

• The nutrition, cost, operational, and sustainability priorities shaping protein procurement

• Where balanced proteins could fit within existing healthcare strategies

• What barriers could prevent adoption

• What manufacturers should understand when designing products for the channel

• Where collective action could help unlock the market

[0:30–1:00]
Consortium Open Discussion

We’ll use the second half to hear from members and identify opportunities for collaboration.

Healthcare opportunity

• Are you currently selling into or exploring healthcare?

• What barriers are you encountering?

• What information, relationships, or resources would make the channel easier to pursue?

• Are there opportunities for shared product specifications, pilots, or demand aggregation?

Around the Consortium

• Member updates, launches, and learnings

• Current challenges where the group may be able to help

• 2027 conference plans and opportunities for coordinated Consortium support

Looking forward to the conversation!
