Codex Committee on Food Labeling

The Codex Committee on Food Labeling is an international group that develops guidelines for how food products should be labeled and presented. Its goal is to ensure labels provide clear, accurate, and consistent information to help consumers make informed choices about what they eat, while also facilitating trade between countries. The committee considers issues like ingredient lists, nutrition facts, country of origin, and allergen information. By setting these standards, they promote safety, transparency, and fair practices in the global food market.
