ARLINGTON, Va. — The non-profit Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) is inviting 250 people to host a Seafood Nutrition House Party this October 1. The 2015-2020 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating seafood at least twice a week to take in at least 250mg of omega-3s EPA+DHA per day. Currently only 1 in 10 Americans follow this guideline. This program will help build awareness for the need to include critical seafood nutrition in regular meals.
