“The supermarket industry applauds this use of the tried and true one-stop concept to protect public health and safety;” said Jill Hollingsworth, vice president of food safety programs of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI).
“For our customers and the industry, this Web site provides clear pathways to the regulatory agencies that safeguard our food and consumer products: the Food and Drug Administration, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Consumer Product Safety Commission and Environmental Protection Agency, along with those involved in transportation and imports, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration and Coast Guard.”
Since the 1980s, FMI has strongly advocated more coordinated government oversight of safety and security concerns.
Food Marketing Institute proudly advocates on behalf of the food retail industry. FMI’s U.S. members operate nearly 40,000 retail food stores and 25,000 pharmacies, representing a combined annual sales volume of almost $770 billion. Through programs in public affairs, food safety, research, education and industry relations, FMI offers resources and provides valuable benefits to more than 1,225 food retail and wholesale member companies in the United States and around the world. FMI membership covers the spectrum of diverse venues where food is sold, including single owner grocery stores, large multi-store supermarket chains and mixed retail stores.
