U.S. Right to Know

U.S. Right to Know is a nonprofit public health research group. We investigate corporate wrongdoing and government failures that threaten our health, environment and food system. We work in the public interest to help keep families healthy.

We uncover, report on and share documents obtained through public records laws and from whistleblowers, and collaborate with public health academics and journalists around the world.

Our investigations into the ultra-processed food and pesticide industries have been reported on worldwide, leading to four New York Times articles; 14 articles in the BMJ, one of the world’s leading medical journals; and 16 co-authored peer-reviewed public health journal articles. Our team has also reported extensively on the origins of Covid-19 and high-risk virological research

We were recognized in a Lancet Global Health report that named U.S. Right to Know as an example of public health investigative work that challenges the corporate playbook, alongside Transparency International and Open Secrets.
