About Us

Canadians have questions about food — where it comes from, who’s producing it, and how. Their healthy curiosity is why we exist.

It’s not about supporting a certain outcome. We don’t lobby or advocate on behalf of any brand, company, or food production method.

We want to make sure that Canadians— who are bombarded with contradictions — have the balanced information they need about food to make informed choices that are right for them and their families.

The Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI) is a not-for-profit charitable organization whose members and partners represent the diversity of today’s food system — from farmers, ranchers, and food companies to universities, non-governmental organizations, restaurants, retailers, food processors, financial institutions, seed companies, and transportation providers. We also collaborate with tech innovators, environmental organizations, packaging and distribution firms, healthcare and nutrition bodies, water management specialists, and energy providers.
