Interactions between registered dietitians and the food industry in Canada: results from a cross-sectional survey.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, relationships between nutrition professionals and the food industry have raised concerns over the risks they may pose to the profession's credibility and integrity. However, empirical research on the nature and frequency of these interactions, as well as how professionals manage them, is limited. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among 167 Registered Dietitians (RDs) from Quebec, Canada, regarding (i) the nature and frequency of their interactions with the industry, (ii) their perceptions of existing risks and benefits of those interactions, (iii) the strategies they employed to manage these interactions, and (iv) their confidence levels in managing those interactions. RDs in Quebec have experienced, on average, 1.7 interactions per month with the industry ove
