NEW JERSEY FOOD COUNCIL The New Jersey Food Council (NJFC) was formed in 1969, at a time when the supermarket industry was fractured and did not have a common voice. A small group of New Jersey grocers representing mostly small and independent food stores joined many of the large food retailers with a vision to bring together common goals and strengthen the industry under a unified state association. www.NJFoodCouncil.com
