Midwest Food Products Association
The Midwest Food Processors Association, Inc is a trade association that advocates on behalf of food processing companies and affiliated industries in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Established in 1905 as the Wisconsin Canners Association, today the association represents a more diverse group of food processors on a variety of food issues. The primary role of MWFPA is to influence public policy and make the Midwest a great place for food processors to do business. The association's activities can be summarized in four words ; advocate, educate, communicate, and facilitate. Go to Association Profile for more information. The U.S. House of Representatives voted 215-144 yesterday to pass the Senate version of the Food Safety Modernization Act. This final vote by the House ends weeks of procedural wrangling and sends the bill to the President's desk. The President has indicated that he will sign the measure into law. MWFPA joined four business organizations in a December 13 memorandum urging a WI legislative committee to reject a $340 million tax increase on energy bills proposed by the WI Public Service Commission ( WPSC ).
