By engaging others working toward a common goal, we’ve developed effective strategies to address the many facets of making food safer for everybody. Avoiding duplication of effort, creating more opportunity, diversifying and extending our reach, and enhancing resources and capacity are just a few of the ways we and our collaborators have been made stronger.
The Environmental Working Group‘s team of scientists, policy experts, lawyers and communications and data experts work tirelessly to reform our nation’s broken chemical safety and agricultural laws. They educate consumers with actionable information and inspire demand for safer products.
When government and industry won’t stand up for our public health, EWG is there.
Consumer Reports works to create a fair and just marketplace for all. As a mission-driven, independent, nonprofit member organization, CR empowers and informs consumers, incentivizes corporations to act responsibly, and helps policymakers prioritize the rights and interests of consumers in order to shape a truly consumer-driven marketplace.
Consumer Reports was founded in 1936 at a time when consumers had very few options to gauge the value, quality, or authenticity of goods and services. It was an era of unfettered advertising claims, rapid technological progress, and patchwork regulations—so CR was created to equip people with the credible, trustworthy information they needed to make informed choices
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is perhaps the oldest independent, science-based consumer advocacy organization with an impressive record of accomplishments and a clear and ambitious agenda for improving the food system to support healthy eating. It was founded in 1971.
The Safe Food Coalition (SFC) was formed in January 1987 in order to seek action on the 1985 National Academy of Sciences report “Meat and Poultry Inspection: The Scientific Basis of the Nation’s Program.” In the ensuing years, the coalition has worked to educate the public about the hazards of foodborne illness and sought Congressional and Administrative action to improve meat and poultry safety, as well as seafood, produce, and other foods regulated by both the USDA and the FDA.
The Safe Food Coalition is an informal group of consumer, public health, whistleblower, and labor organizations that holds regular meetings in Washington DC. Before the Safe Food Coalition takes a position on any issue or submits testimony, a statement is circulated to all associated groups. Representatives of the groups edit the paper and negotiate differences that may arise. When agreement is reached, the statement or testimony is re-circulated for sign-on by the groups and it is understood that the statement then represents the position of the groups that sign it.
For more information, contact SFC coordinator and Consumer Federation of America, Director of Food Policy, Thomas Gremillion.
