Safe Food Matters Inc. works in the regulatory and legal arena to ensure our food is safe. In February 2022 we won our case on glyphosate in the Federal Court of Appeal.

Our current topics are glyphosate, chlorpyrifos, and gene editing (genetically modified/edited products). To see our collections on a topic, click on the topic link in a post or on the sidebar.
