A run for food safety in El Salvador
The Salvadoran Agency for Technical Regulation (OSARTEC), an institution that is part of the National Quality Council, responsible for coordinating the participation of El Salvador in the development of International Food Standards emanating from the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission, in celebration of the World Day of Food Safety, carried out a sports event, under the motto "Safe food, better health".
This activity was carried out thanks to the support of the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Trust Fund, the PAHO/WHO Representation in El Salvador and the Regional International Organization for Agricultural Health (OIRSA). The race was attended by more than 250 Salvadorans, who recognized the importance of food safety to make the most of the nutritional properties of food and enjoy a healthy life. From this effort, OSARTEC raised awareness about the importance of participation in the preparation and use of Codex Alimentarius Standards, thus favoring the protection of the health of Salvadorans and the application of fair practices in the food trade.
From the Government of El Salvador, different control mechanisms are implemented to ensure that food is safe; its production reduces loss and waste, favoring the economic growth of the industry and the country.

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.
