Preface
The Codex Alimentarius, the compilation of Codex standards, guidelines and codes of practice, are developed jointly by experts from Codex Members representing over 99% of the world’s population. For more than five decades Codex texts have contributed immensely to the safety and quality of the food we eat. The Codex Alimentarius forms a global rule
TIMES
vidence from the earliest historical writings indicates that governing authorities were already then concerned with codifying rules to protect consumers from dishonest practices in the sale of food. Assyrian tablets described the method to be used in determining the correct weights and measures for food grains, and Egyptian scrolls prescribed the l

place to monitor compliance. During the same period, food chemistry came to be recognized as a reputable discipline, and the determination of the “purity” of a food was primarily based on the chemical parameters of simple food composition. When harmful industrial chemicals were used to disguise the true colour or nature of food, the concept of “adu

INTEGRATING NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
While FAO and WHO furthered their involvement in food-related matters, a variety of committees set up by international NGOs also began working in earnest on standards for food commodities. In time, the work of those NGO committees was either assumed by, or continued jointly with, the appropriate Codex Alimentarius Commodity large.stanford.edu
GREATER GLOBAL AND NATIONAL AWARENESS OF FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY
Throughout much of the world, an increasing number of consumers and governments are becoming aware of food quality and safety issues and are realizing the need to be selective about the foods being consumed. It is now common for consumers to demand that their The task of creating a food code is immense and, because of continuing research and produc
INCREASED CONSUMER PROTECTION
The Codex Alimentarius Commission has been supported in its work by the now universally accepted maxim that people have the right to expect their food to be safe, of good quality and suitable for consumption. Food-borne illnesses are at best unpleasant – at worst they can be fatal. But there are other consequences. Outbreaks of food-borne illness c
BROAD COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The role of the Codex Alimentarius Commission has evolved with the development of the Codex Alimentarius itself. The task of creating a food code is immense and, because of continuing research and product development, virtually endless. The finalisation of food standards and their compilation into a code that is credible and authoritative requires
SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND STANDARDS
While the Codex Alimentarius as it stands is a remarkable achievement, it would be quite wrong to see it as the only product of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, although it is the most important. Resulting from the creation of the Codex Alimentarius, another major accomplishment has been to sensitize the global community to the danger of food haz
EVALUATING THE OUTCOME
A major, global programme such as the Codex Alimentarius needs to be evaluated to ensure that the work of standard setting is being managed in the most food standards. By providing an international focal point and forum for informed dialogue on issues relevant to food, the Codex Alimentarius Commission fulfils a crucial role. Six Joint FAO/WHO Regi
STANDARDS, GUIDELINES AND CODES OF PRACTICE

General Standards, Guidelines and Codes of Practice are applied transversely. These texts deal with hygienic practice, labelling, additives, inspection
