The '''Center for Consumer Freedom''' ('''CCF''') is a [[conservative]] and [[libertarian]] non-profit alliance of industry and consumers which focuses on gaining and maintaining consumer choice in the areas of [[food]] and [[drink]]. They actively oppose what they call "the growing [[cabal]] of 'food cops,'" which is the term CCF uses to describe individuals and special interest groups who try to regulate or control consumer choice, especially on the bases of health claims.<ref name="aboutus">Center for Consumer Freedom. ''About Us'' [http://www.consumerfreedom.com/about.cfm]</ref>
