Safe Food Coalition

S.T.O.P. is an active member of the Safe Food Coalition. The Safe Food Coalition was formed in January of 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 USDA and 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- off by the groups and it is understood that the statement then represents the position of the groups that sign it.
