The Food Label Movement was formed in September 2010 in an attempt to increase consumer awareness of the foods we eat and to increase transparency between consumers and food manufacturers. Navigating the grocery store can be difficult enough with all the choices which are made available to us, but with misleading labels on food products, it is even more challenging to determine what – and how much – we are truly eating. Although we are a Canadian-based organization, we hopepeople around the world will share our concerns. No matter where you are in the world, you can support The Food Label Movement by signing our petition and getting involved with this cause. Nutrition label laws are a global issue. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/thefoodlabelmovement/ We update the public by incorporating research information, articles, news releases, and food legislation by posting to The Food Label Movement website; Engaging with other interested parties by attending conference, hosting health social events, and discussing shared concerns related to nutrition and general health; Approaching governmental bodies and making it known we as consumers would like to see changes take place.
Mission Statement 1. The Food Label Movement aims to: 2. Lobby for truthful, clear and easy-to-understand labelling on food products. 3. Empower consumers to influence change in the food industry through informed spending. 4. Provide useful, relevant and timely information which will help consumers make better food choices.
“Your food dollar, propelling real change.”
