BEEF TO BE FEATURED FOR ALL AGES DURING 2021 NBC4 HEALTH & FITNESS EXPO

K.Swope | March 8, 2021


Bedford - The Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative (NEBPI), a subcontractor to the Beef Checkoff, through partnership with the Virginia Beef Council (VBC), will ensure the latest information surrounding beef’s nutritional benefits, beef recipes and more are shared during the 2021 NBC4 Health & Fitness Expo, which is being held virtually March 19-20, 2021. The event is free to attend but requires pre-registration at www.nbc4t44expo.vfairs.com.

Cindy Chan Phillips, Registered Dietitian will be featured on the Healthy Cooking 4 You stage hosting an interactive cooking demonstration with information for consumers of all ages. The demands of everyday life require ample energy, and this 30-minute session will feature practical nutrition advice, as well as versatile, energy-dense Ground Beef recipes that will allow you to cook once and eat many times. 

Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit the Beef Booth during the Expo. At the booth there will be interactive resources, like beef cooking videos, feeding beef to babies resources, beef’s nutritional benefits and more. Attendees will also be able to interact with Checkoff staff live during the event.
