In times of genetic food and lobbyism in agricultural economy we all know that what we eat lies no longer in our hands. The food industry, lobbyists and politicians control what ends up on our plates and which information we receive about our food.

foodwatch is a Berlin-based, independent NGO that exposes practices of the global food-industry that are not in the interests of consumers. foodwatch fights for the right of consumers to know exactly what they are buying and to enjoy healthy, unmodified and uncontaminated food.

Thanks to independent research and analysis, foodwatch tells the public which food products contain toxins, naming the parties responsible and tell consumers about the barefaced lies used in food advertising. foodwatch also puts on pressure by mobilising consumer protest activities and take offenders to court on behalf of consumers.
