CSPI

The Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is an independent health advocacy organization with offices in Ottawa and Washington. CSPI's Ottawa advocacy efforts are supported by more than 100,000 subscribers to the Canadian edition of its Nutrition Action Healthletter, which was launched in 1996. For more than a decade, CSPI has been an important force in stimulating changes to government policies and industry practices to improve the nutritional quality of the Canadian food supply and, most importantly, the health of Canadians. CSPI led a coalition of health and citizens groups in a six-year public advocacy campaign for mandatory nutrition labeling on pre-packaged foods.
