dbpprop:abstract
  • Food & Water Watch is a Washington, D.C. based non-governmental organization and consumer rights group which focuses on corporate and government accountability relating to food, water, and fishing. Food and Water Watch employs a four pronged effort focusing on public and policymaker education, lobbying, media, and Internet activism. Food & Water Watch became independent from its parent organization, Public Citizen, in 2005. Food & Water Watch was the first to break the news of the high rate of salmonella in US chicken processing plants in July 2006. Food and Water Watch has also been critical of the growing bottled water industry for health and environmental concerns. On August 24, 2007, Food & Water Watch announced success in its effort to get Starbucks Coffee to stop using milk originating from rBGH-treated cows, after Starbucks, in a letter to executive director Wenonah Hauter, stated that by December 31, 2007, all of the dairy products used in company-operated stores would be produced with rBGH-free milk.
