Urge Congress to Protect and Strengthen School Nutrition
Ask your members of Congress to prioritize the health of our schoolchildren in the Child Nutrition Reauthorization and build upon the progress made thus far on sodium, whole grains, and added sugars.
Tell Congress Not to Deregulate Swine Slaughter
It’s happening again. The Trump Administration is deregulating another federal safety program, and this time it’s affecting our food supply.

Ask Chili's to Reduce Dangerous Sodium Levels
Chili’s is the “winner” of the first-ever Lifetime Achievement award at the MilliGrammys—awards recognizing ridiculous amounts of sodium in restaurant meals. Most of us should limit ourselves to about 1,500 to 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily. But some meals at Chili’s, like its Crispy Fiery Pepper Crispers—with 6,240 milligrams— double or almost triple that amount. Contact Chili’s President Wyman T. Roberts and ask him to support sodium reduction!
Urge Retailers to Offer Healthier Options at Checkout
The retail food environment should support shoppers’ health, not undermine it. Starting with checkout—one of the most profitable and unhealthy areas of the store, where extra calories are pushed on shoppers (they’re called impulse purchases for a reason)—CSPI is asking Walmart, Kroger, Publix, and Walgreens to rethink the foods and beverages that are sold near the cash register and instead offer products that support shoppers’ efforts to eat well.
Urge the FDA to ban food dyes!

Did you know that food and chemical companies can decide for themselves whether a chemical is safe for use in food?
