Military Food Nutrition Update
By Zen Honeycutt, Kendall Mackintosh, and Triada World science advisors
On febrero 4, 2026, Moms Across America (MAA) issued our Military Food Test Results exclusively to ABC. After the broadcast, a nutritionist identified a conversion error in the analysis, revealing that the information we released was inaccurate. We apologize to ABC, the public, and the military for this error. Corrections to our methodology have been made, and the following updated analysis has been reviewed by multiple nutritionists and scientists and is accurate.
Moms Across America is fueled by the dedication of mothers who have shared anecdotal experiences for over 13 years regarding our own children’s health issues. Their experiences, such as the vast improvements in their children's health when they eat organic food and avoid toxins, are valid and essential for understanding how we can all improve our own health. However, it is critical to us that all of our work, our foundation, is also backed by high-quality, independent science.
The science gathered through nutritional testing of military food raises additional questions that must be addressed for military health and public safety, and as a matter of national homeland security.
Summary
The dataset shows a clear, repeated pattern across all menus. Military entrées contain mineral levels that are consistently and often dramatically higher than United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) baselines for comparable foods. The pattern is not random; it reflects systematic mineral-synthetic fortification and, in some cases, immense over‑fortification, particularly for sodium, manganese, calcium, iron, and copper.
- Of the available data on 9-10 minerals assessed across 10 samples, the military’s food nutrition was up to 25% higher than USDA-comparable standards.
- The military food samples were 40-60% higher in nutritional value than school lunches.
- Using synthetic fortification to address low nutrient density in school lunches is not advisable, as it can pose health risks.
- The need for any fortification highlights nutrient deficiencies in our food, perhaps due to agrochemical farming and the presence of glyphosate, a nutrient chelator found in, on average, 95%-100% of non-organic foods tested by MAA and up to 20% of organic food due to contamination.
- Minerals such as iron, sodium, calcium, manganese, and copper were at exceptionally high levels in many of the samples tested.
