“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 (FMI) conducts programs in public affairs, food safety, research, education and industry relations on behalf of its nearly 1,250 food retail and wholesale member companies in the United States and around the world. FMI’s U.S. members operate more than 25,000 retail food stores and almost 22,000 pharmacies with a combined annual sales volume of nearly $650 billion. FMI’s retail membership is composed of large multi-store chains, regional firms and independent operators. Its international membership includes 126 companies from more than 65 countries. FMI’s nearly 330 associate members include the supplier partners of its retail and wholesale members.
