World Health Day Video - Peru
The Codex Secretariat in Peru has put together a wonderful video from World Health Day on April 7th which exactly captures the spirit of the work Standard setting and Codex does in contributing to #safefood.
You will see some familiar Codex faces and many of those who work behind the scenes in Peru.
Importantly, the video also captures stall holders and vendors at work - all part of the process of ensuring that food is in every home safely.
At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.
Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations
contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.

Codex and Observer
around the world since ancient times.
We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
