Safer Food Choices
You and your family have the right to know what’s in the food you eat!
Improving Accuracy and Transparency in Online Food Information
Online shopping has become a major part of how consumers purchase food, yet many online supermarkets fail to provide up-to-date and accurate product information. Missing details, outdated nutritional values, and reliance on generic disclaimers create uncertainty.
Supporting Timely Updates for Ingredient and Nutrition Changes
Food producers frequently modify ingredients and nutritional values, but these changes are often not reflected in retail databases for months or even years. Our initiative aims to create streamlined processes for real-time updates, ensuring that both physical and digital labels reflect the most current product information. This will improve consumer confidence and compliance with food safety regulations.
Advocating for Safer Ingredients in Food Products
Many food products contain synthetic ingredients that have been banned in other countries due to health concerns. Open Food Standard is committed to promoting the use of safe, high-quality ingredients. We strive to engage with food safety organizations, policymakers, and manufacturers to encourage the adoption of international best practices, ensuring that consumers are protected from potentially harmful additives.
Encouraging Transparency in Ingredient Quantities
Consumers have the right to know what’s in their food, yet ingredient quantities are often omitted under the guise of protecting trade secrets. While we understand industry concerns about proprietary formulas, we advocate for a balanced approach that allows transparency without compromising competitive advantage. We support legal frameworks that encourage clear ingredient disclosure while providing avenues for protecting genuine intellectual property.
