NOPA Statement on Release of ‘Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy’

WASHINGTON, September 9, 2025 – The National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) issued the following statement today in response to the release of a policy report by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission: 

“NOPA thanks the MAHA Commission for releasing a policy report consistent with the broad scientific consensus that our food system remains safe and secure. We appreciate the transparency shown by the administration during this process and value their ongoing engagement with NOPA and other agricultural stakeholders. While this report represents a step in the right direction, NOPA will remain vigilant in addressing policies and public statements that stoke fear based on misinformation rather than sound science.” – Devin Mogler, President and CEO, NOPA.
