The Dannon Institute is presently focusing its efforts on areas in the field of nutrition that its Board of Directors and Scientific Council feel need greater attention in the United States. The Dannon Institute focuses on the benefits of general nutrition, based on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, which includes all food groups required for good health. Our programs are dedicated only to non-commercial activities. To ensure this, the Dannon Institute is guided by an independent group of prominent nutrition experts from throughout the country who devote their time and energy to the foundation. Inc. The nutrition scientists establish program direction, determine recipients of funding and are closely involved in all Dannon Institute programs.
Dannon managers offer communication support, program development and management expertise.
Members of the Scientific Council serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors. They provide insight for programs and also serve on program selection committees.
