About the FoodFakty project - established in 2017, from the very beginning created to support the development of the Food Safety Culture in Poland. The project is open to all interested organizations. Its goal is to provide food industry professionals with the latest reliable information on legal regulations, food safety risks, technology development and many other important elements supporting food industry managers in their daily work.
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.

but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
