Our Mission

Our vision is a global environment where science informs food decisions.

Our mission is to effectively communicate science-based information about food safety, nutrition and sustainable food systems, serving the public good. 

Founded in 1985, the International Food Information Council (IFIC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. For more than forty years, IFIC has been dedicated to supporting informed food and beverage decisions, collaboration, and evidence-based communication.

IFIC is governed by a Board of Trustees, the majority of whom are from public academic institutions, along with an Assembly that includes government liaisons.

IFIC is supported primarily through grants and contributions from the broad-based food, beverage, and agricultural industry. IFIC does not lobby or represent any product, company, or industry.
