The most cost-effective solution to food waste is right under our noses. PIRG and Replate host food waste experts to discuss food date labeling.

You want to lead a healthy life, and help your family do the same, and you trust that the food in the grocery store is safe, and grown in ways that won’t threaten our health or safety.

It’s also clear that the early warning system for contaminated food, and our food recall system, need a serious overhaul. We can and should expect better.

America generates up to 1,000 pounds of food waste per person each year, enough to feed millions. Simple policy changes could help.
Chemicals linked to cancer shouldn't be anywhere near our crops and the fields where we grow our food.
We rely on bees to pollinate more than 70 of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world's food — but as our society uses more bee-killing "neonic" pesticides, bee populations are plummeting.
