Video: Nuclear Techniques in Codex
The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture was established by the FAO and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1964.
This Division works to support and promote the safe and appropriate use of nuclear and related technologies by the FAO/IAEA Member States in food and agriculture.
This month Codex visited IAEA in Vienna to explore the very central role that nuclear science has played in the development of international food standards.

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.

We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
