Commitment to Health

MyPlate Guidelines Our products play a key role in the journey toward healthy eating. USDA dietary guidelines recommend we eat more plant-based foods that provide fiber, antioxidants and healthier fats, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts. These nutrients are linked to lower risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. 

Working with Nutrition Experts
Supermarkets throughout the US are increasingly employing in-house dietitians to provide consumers with the health and wellness information they seek. Seneca has taken a lead role in having our own nutrition experts provide educational resources on topics such as organics, GMO, BPA, recipes and serving suggestions. 

Seneca is working with Foodservice marketing staff and dieticians to provide tools to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in out-of-home settings.

 

Canned Good CoalitionCanned Good Coalition
The Canned Good Coalition was formed to get the word out about all the good things that steel food cans can do, from keeping food at peak freshness to being infinitely recyclable to helping reduce food waste. Being both a steel can manufacturer and canned food company, Seneca Foods is a proud member of the Canned Food Coalition along with other canned food companies.
