The National Consumer Coalition’s Food Group has launched www.foodstuff.org
, an information resource on food policy issues. NCC’s Food Group, organized by Consumer Alert, is made up of six pro- market non-profit organizations that monitor, discuss, report and coordinate work on food issues.
The new website combines food news, publications, resources and useful links. The NCC Food Group’s monthly newsletter “On the Plate” is available, as well as information relating to five major food issues: biotechnology, agriculture, food & trade, food safety and labeling.
