International Harmonization
Participation in Codex
FDA participates in and exercises leadership in committees of the Codex Alimentarius Commission,
through improved coordination of Codex activities within
FDA and with other U.S. agencies, in order to elaborate and promote development of science-based,
international food safety and labeling standards that
provide a level of consumer protection and label information consistent with that provided by
corresponding U.S. regulations and laws.
FDA ensures that processes are in place to develop and articulate clear U.S. delegation positions that
enhance and promote consumer protection and reflect input by all stakeholders on matters before relevant
Codex committees.
