The objectives of this SIG are based on suggestions from members with an interest in nutrition and a goal to share knowledge and experiences and to advance the field. We held our foundational meeting during the 2018 ASM in Montreal. Membership is comprised of 12 members and the coordinators are Drs. José Morais (Montreal) and Peter Spadafora (Guelph). During the past year, Drs. Morais, Peitsch (Manitoba)
