Our amazing team of part-time volunteers are committed to helping others such as the Men of Pa'a learn about healthy diet (pictured). We have no paid staff and fund-raise as needed to fund specific projects.

The Food Ingredient and Health Research Institute (FIHRI) is the only federally recognized 501 c 3 non-profit organization in the United States devoted to food ingredient safety, education and research. We incorporated in CA in 2010 and registered as a non-profit HI in 2021.
After spending many years conducting research and publishing our findings, we are now focused on supporting projects in Hawai'i to help our people switch to a healthy diet. Our goal is to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of our O'hana. Living and practicing aloha!!
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our educational goal of training and certifying 100 Food Ingredient Safety Specialists in Hawai'i.
