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.
