Codex Committees

Codex Committees are specialized groups within the Codex Alimentarius, an international organization that develops food safety and quality standards. These committees consist of experts from various countries who collaboratively draft and revise guidelines, codes of practice, and standards to ensure food is safe, properly labeled, and free from contamination. Their work helps harmonize regulations globally, facilitating safe international trade and protecting consumer health. Each committee focuses on specific areas like dairy, meats, or contaminants, providing technical advice and consensus-based recommendations to promote consistent and scientifically sound food standards worldwide.
