Codex standards

Codex standards are internationally recognized guidelines developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to ensure food safety, quality, and fair trade. They set technical specifications for food ingredients, contaminants, hygiene practices, and labeling, helping countries coordinate regulations. These standards protect consumers by reducing risks related to food products and facilitate international trade by providing a common reference. Overall, Codex standards promote consistent, safe, and high-quality food practices worldwide, supporting health and economic stability across nations.
