The Consumer Goods Forum works with manufacturers and retailers to improve practices that benefit consumers such as food safety and health.
It has just released its latest Health & Wellness Progress report based on a survey it conducted in 2016. The report is based on responses from 102 food, beverage, and retail companies.
