Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a nonprofit health-advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, focused on nutrition and food safety. It publishes Nutrition Action, a health newsletter with broad circulation, and has driven efforts toward healthier diets, more nutritious school meals, safer foods, and clearer food labeling. CSPI provides objective information to the public and represents citizens' interests before legislative, regulatory, and judicial bodies. The organization operates within the public policy sphere to influence nutrition and food-safety policy through research, analysis, and advocacy. CSPI positions itself as an independent voice in the public policy landscape, informing policy discussions and monitoring developments that affect consumer nutrition and food safety. A notable recent development includes a late-2023 publication of recommendations for inclusion in the Farm Bill, outlining opportunities to promote healthy retail food environments and federal policy options.
