CODEX STAN

CODEX STAN, or the Codex Alimentarius Standards, is a set of internationally recognized guidelines developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to ensure food safety, quality, and fair trade practices. It provides science-based standards for food ingredients, additives, contaminants, labeling, and hygiene. By harmonizing these standards globally, CODEX STAN helps protect consumers, facilitate international trade, and promote public health. Countries use these guidelines to develop their own food regulations, ensuring that food products are safe and correctly labeled across borders.
