Established in 1966, the Calorie Control Council is an international association representing the low- and reduced-calorie food and beverage sector. Its membership includes manufacturers and suppliers of low- and reduced-calorie foods and beverages, as well as providers of more than two dozen alternative sweeteners, fibers, and other low-calorie ingredients. The council functions as a forum to discuss industry issues and to foster cooperation among key stakeholders across borders. It facilitates open dialogue with scientific and governmental bodies, health professionals, and consumer groups about the safe use and benefits of low- and reduced-calorie ingredients and products. Scientific research has been a cornerstone of its activity, and it has sponsored studies on ingredient safety, consumer usage, and public opinion. Based in Washington, DC, the organization is small and focuses on promoting a broader understanding of diet, physical activity, and weight management as components of a healthy lifestyle.
