The Foodaware Steering Committee decided that the Foodaware project was complete and the organisation closed on 31st July 2008. European Research into Consumer Affairs, a European consumer organisation with UK charitable status, will continue to provide the contact for any questions about Foodaware papers and the Foodaware website will remain online for another year.
Foodaware: the Consumers' Food Group, was set up to coordinate
the broad UK consumer movement's work on food safety, nutrition
and standards. Our mission was to give UK consumers a strong voice
on food policy by bringing together the organisations that represent
them. We consulted and supported the UK consumer representatives
on food related committees, and furthered the public understanding
of science.
Foodaware developed from the Food and Agriculture Working Party
of Consumers in Europe. Our members were consumer, women’s,
family, ethnic minority and enforcement organisations, which contribute
time and expertise to our representations.
