The Codex Alimentarius commission was founded in the 1960’s by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and provides internationally harmonized food standards. The Codex food standards have gained worldwide recognition and have become a single international reference point for consumers, food producers and processors, government food control agencies and international food trade.
