Beef Checkoff Funds Nutrition and Health Research to Connect with New Consumer Audiences

Leave a comment


This research has uncovered new scientific evidence supporting the beneficial role beef’s nutrients play in a child’s physical and cognitive development. The paper, Meat Helps Every Bite Count, says that infants as young as six months of age need high-quality dietary sources of iron and zinc as their internal stores begin to deplete after birth. The unique, nutrient-dense matrix of iron-rich red meat, such as beef, makes it an ideal first complementary food.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) recently recommended animal-sourced foods, such as beef, to support healthy growth for infants and toddlers. Backed by this recommendation as well as support from The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Women, Infants and Children’s Program, Checkoff-funded Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. launched a “Beef in the Early Years” promotional campaign.

Over the past few years, Beef in the Early Years has reached health professionals, parents and caregivers nationwide with attention-getting materials, infographics, preparation guides, eating tips, videos, recipes and more. These materials have been promoted through YouTube, Google Search, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Spotify and podcasts. Since its launch, the campaign has reached millions of consumers with information that supports introducing beef to infants around six months of age.

Here’s how Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner achieved those remarkable results:

A new nutrition research paper, “Meat Helps Make Every Bite Count: An Ideal First Food for Infants,” was published in Nutrition Today, garnering thousands of views.

  • Messaging in top-tier nutrition and health journals, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Healthy Children Magazine educated health professionals about beef’s benefits. E-blasts were sent through lists provided by EatRight Pro and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
  • More than 2,500 health professionals registered for an educational webinar with dietitian Katie Ferraro about the nutrient adequacy and safety of incorporating solid foods – including beef – when implementing the baby-led weaning approach.
  • Partnerships with five leading nutrition influencers helped reach consumers via social media and blog posts featuring tips for introducing beef to infants and recipes that the whole family could enjoy.
  • An episode featuring Dr. Michael Georgieff on the popular podcast, “The Nourished Child,” was downloaded thousands of times on various platforms. Dr. Georgieff highlighted the importance of iron for a child’s brain development.

While beef is an important food for babies and toddlers, it’s also great for the growth and development of older children and teenagers. In August 2022, to mark the start of the school year and World Iron Awareness Week, the Beef Checkoff emphasized beef’s role in building strong minds and strong bodies. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans has stated that many children and adolescents aren’t getting enough high-quality protein, iron, zinc, choline and vitamins B6 and B12. To spread the word about beef’s high-quality protein and iron, the Checkoff funded these initiatives:

  • In-office educational toolkits were delivered to doctor’s offices across the nation. The toolkits included a letter, an educational tool and a tear pad for parents and caregivers.
  • An EatRight Pro and Nutrition and Dietetics SmartBrief advertisement and e-blast provided information about beef’s key nutrients for children and teens to more than 406,000 health professionals.
  • Partnerships with five leading nutrition influencers featured quick and nutritious school lunches, opportunities to increase protein and iron in adolescence and tips to ensure children build strong minds and bodies.
  • Through a partnership with the Retail Dietitian Business Alliance, the Checkoff shared two educational e-blasts and a sponsorship page with educational resources that emphasize the value of beef for children and teenagers.
  • The Beef Checkoff-funded nutrition team continues to work closely with State Beef Councils by offering an educational presentation by Dayle Hayes, MS, RD, with updates on school lunch nutrition and opportunities to support beef as part of the school lunch program.

“The Beef Checkoff’s nutrition and health research is not only driving more demand for beef – it’s also giving parents and health professionals the resources they need to help infants, toddlers and adolescents build healthy, strong minds and bodies,” Meyer said. “Furthermore, these young people are key to beef’s future success. They’re the next generation who will be purchasing beef and cooking it for themselves and their families.”

ONSCREEN Launches API and Enterprise Management Platform

Leave a comment


“Our newly-launched API opens ONSCREEN’s capabilities up to an exciting world of possibilities through yet-to-be-discovered partnerships and use cases,” said Costin Tuculescu, CEO of ONSCREEN. “No other company offers the same level of TV-based communication capabilities that can now be leveraged in new and innovative ways, bringing easier communication and more ways to keep older adults connected and thriving in their home or senior living facility. This will further transform video calling for seniors and remove the challenges frequently experienced with other types of technology and devices.”

The ONSCREEN API is a RESTful service enabling full user interaction control, from forming admin groups and managing user accounts, to controlling calls and sending personalized messages to the TV. Third-party services can establish administrative groups for structured user management, initiate/end calls for users, and improve interaction by sending tailored messages to each end-user. Detailed API documentation is available at https://developer.onscreeninc.com.

In addition to the API, ONSCREEN is launching Enterprise Manager, an administrative portal for large-scale deployments. The Enterprise Manager is designed for customers, such as large senior living facilities or in-home care companies, to efficiently manage their ONSCREEN deployments, including all end-user devices across any number of locations. For example, senior living facility managers can install an ONSCREEN device in each resident’s room and then set-up, monitor, and control all devices, either individually or as a group, via one centralized dashboard, through the Enterprise Manager. This gives facility managers the ability to send individualized messages to each resident, do video-based check-ins, and utilize technology-based communication that requires no technical proficiency of the resident to participate and leverage the biggest screen in their room – the TV.

Building on the robust features of the current release, ONSCREEN plans to continue delivering high value to its customers and partners. Planned future capabilities include detailed usage and performance insights, real-time device status tracking, and AI capabilities. Also on the horizon is the ability to push video and image content, and other customized features to meet the dynamic needs of partners and end-users alike.

About ONSCREEN

ONSCREEN is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults by making technology-based communication more accessible through its innovative TV-based video-calling solution for seniors.
