Their primary goal is to give consumers a powerful voice in shaping the food industry and ensuring transparency in the sector. As a citizen-based watchdog in the food sector, foodwatch works to uncover and challenge food industry practices that infringe upon consumer rights or interests. Through conducting research, exposing scandals, mobilizing consumers, and lobbying governments, foodwatch acts as an important counterweight to the power of the food industry.

Their campaigns have successfully raised awareness on critical issues, resulting in significant changes in governmental policy and food industry practices. An independent organization, foodwatch operates at both the national and European levels, with offices in Germany, France, Austria, and the Netherlands. They rely on the support of individuals to carry out their work and do not accept funding from governments, the food industry, or the EU.
