The NZFSA maintains this website to provide information on the Codex Alimentarius Commission and Codex activities in New Zealand (NZ).
“Codex” is short for CODEX ALIMENTARIUS, an international food standards code developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). The CAC is an international food standards agency that was established jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1963. The CAC develops standards for use by all member nations. Codex standards are designed to protect the health of consumers and promote fair practices in food trade.
