Key Policy Resources
A roadmap for a stronger food and beverage industry
The following policy recommendations offer Congress and the president a roadmap for strengthening job creation, driving growth and fostering innovation for manufacturers across the food and beverage supply chain.
Maintaining a Proven, Science-Based GRAS Framework
A key part of America’s food safety system is the Generally Recognized as Safe framework, which for decades has provided a safe, efficient and effective regulatory pathway for food ingredients and packaging, making the U.S. a world leader in innovation.
A Uniform National Standard for Food Regulation
Manufacturers across the food and beverage supply chain work every day to deliver safe, nutritious and affordable products to American families. Our nation’s reliable food supply depends on consistent, uniform federal oversight — yet states are increasingly pursuing their own ingredient bans and labeling requirements.
Food Labeling: Risks and Modernization
Manufacturers across the U.S. food and beverage supply chain — who play a vital role in ensuring Americans have access to safe, nutritious and affordable food — support smart, transparent labeling requirements that are science-based and implemented with robust stakeholder input at the federal level.
Food Affordability: How Fragmented Food Policies Drive Up Grocery Prices
Every day, manufacturers across the food and beverage supply chain bring safe and nutritious food from farms to factory floors to families’ kitchen tables. Food affordability is shaped by many factors, including how food is regulated and how those regulations are designed and implemented.
Processing and Nutrition: Choosing the Right Lens for Policy
Manufacturers across the food and beverage supply chain work hard every day to provide safe and nutritious products that are affordable and accessible to all Americans. From small, family-owned companies to the world’s biggest brands, manufacturers support nutrition policies grounded in sound science that help Americans eat well and stay healthy.
Keeping America fed and competitive
Manufacturers are delivering a safe, abundant and affordable food supply — and pressing for consistent, science-based national policies that keep it that way.
