Introducing RDBA’s Newest EduTrac: Oats, Seed to Spoon
How foods are grown and produced is increasingly becoming part of the dialogue with shoppers as it enters their decision-making process for food selection. For this reason, the Retail Dietitians Business Alliance is excited to announce the launch of our newest EduTrac Oats, Seed to Spoon, developed in partnership with Quaker.
This EduTrac is designed to help retail dietitians learn more about the oat’s seed to spoon journey. The EduTrac covers the following topics in easy to follow content complete with graphics and downloads for use in shopper education:
- Oat Production. Have you always wanted to understand how rolled oats differ from steel cut? And if all oats are whole grain? These topics and more are covered in this section.

- Nutrition and Health Benefits. Understand the latest and greatest science on the role of oats in nutrition and health.
- Elevating Oats at Retail. Ideas for turning education to activation are presented in this section.
This EduTrac has been submitted for continuing education credits from CDR, and the website will be updated as soon as approval is received. In the meantime, here are learning needs objectives for this educational program. After taking the course, participation’s will be able to:
