How Much Whole Grain How Much Whole Grain is Recommended?is Recommended?
• 2005 Dietary Guidelines Recommends that all adults eat half their grains as whole grains –
that's 3 to 5 servings of whole grains. • American Heart Association • Department of Health and Human Services • Healthy People 2010
Recommend at least three servings of whole grains per day.
Yet the average American eats less than one daily serving of whole grains, and over 30% of Americans never eat whole grains at all.

QUALIFYING PRODUCTSBasic Stamp
• must contain at least 8g of whole grain ingredients per labeled serving and per RACC.
• At least 51% of the grains in the product must be whole grains.
100% Stamp • must contain at least 16g of whole grain ingredients per
labeled serving and per RACC. • 100% of the grains in the product must be whole grains.
As this rules out any addition of grain-based starchy release agents or thickeners, vital wheat gluten, bran toppings, etc. that are not 100% whole grain, it is expected that few if any FSIS products will qualify for the 100% Whole Grain Stamp.
