Webinar on Codex texts for the Latin American and the Caribbean region / 7 December 10.00 (GMT-5)
To strengthen national food safety systems and promote the application of Codex standards, there will be a webinar on basic Codex texts on 7 December 2022, 10.00–12.00 (GMT-5). This is part of the webinar series for capacity building in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
“For more than five decades Codex texts have contributed immensely to the safety and quality of the food we eat. Codex standards are used as a benchmark in international trade agreements, ensuring that trade can flow globally but not at the cost of health risks to consumers. This webinar will help participants to learn more about the standards, guidelines, codes of practice, and all the important texts of the Codex Alimentarius Commission,” said Giuseppe Di Chiera from the Codex Secretariat.
After the presentation, there will be open discussion and Q&A session. The webinar will be held in Spanish and English, recordings will be also available on the event website.
As part of the FAO project “Action to support implementation of Codex AMR Texts (ACT)”, a series of virtual seminars are held in 2022-2025. The webinars are organized by the Phyto and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control Agency of Ecuador (AGROCALIDAD), as the base of the FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean (CCLAC), and the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (FAO RLC).

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.
