Annual Report

Storytelling is essential to the "why" of food safety.

The stories of our constituents convey the urgency to do better to spare others from similar suffering.

Food plays a central role in our lives – it is sustenance, it connects us with family, culture, and celebration.

Food should not make us seriously ill . . . or worse. We will continue working with government agencies and the food industry to better ensure the safety of the food supply. It is STOP's passion for consumer protection that has helped us create durable relationships.
