Recognizing that consumers can only eat healthfully when healthy options are available, we work to improve the places where people buy and eat food. By building support for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, we improved school meals and by threatening litigation against the American Beverage Association, we removed full-sugar soda from schools. CSPI successfully led efforts to include menu labeling provisions in the Affordable Care Act, allowing consumers to choose fewer calories and incentivizing restaurants to add healthier menu items. Our leadership on food service guidelines is helping communities increase access to healthier food in public spaces like government agencies, hospitals, and correctional facilities.  One of our top goals is to transform the place where Americans get most of their food—grocery stores.  We are mobilizing advocates, coalition partners, and at-risk populations to support state and local policies and corporate campaigns to improve the retail food environment.

Through research and pilot programs, we aim to create evidence-based campaigns that will be both beneficial to the health of consumers and economically sustainable for retailers.

Identify research gaps and innovative healthy retail approaches that lead to sustainable and meaningful improvements to the food retail environment. Draft case studies and reports on groundbreaking initiatives and studies on healthy retail. Cultivate interest among researchers and retailers to conduct pilot programs in support of a healthy retail environment. Develop and maintain relationships with other organizations, coalitions, and funders. Contract with and manage consultants, including monitoring metrics and budgets and support the subgrant process by reviewing proposals and providing advice and technical assistance. Represent CSPI as a spokesperson through presentations and trainings, at conferences, in coalitions, online, and with policymakers, CEOs, and the press. Help identify and secure funding for policy projects by working with the development department on grant applications and reports. Manage budgets and report on grants.
