SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Codex Alimentarius (Codex) was 

established in 1963 by two United 

Nations organizations, the Food and 

Agriculture Organization and the WHO. 

Through adoption of food standards, 

codes of practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure that fair practices are used 

in trade. 

The CCFL drafts provisions on 

labeling applicable to all foods; 

considers, amends if necessary, and 

endorses specific provisions on labeling 

of draft standards, codes of practice, and 

guidelines prepared by other Codex 

committees; studies specific labeling 

problems assigned to it by the 

Commission; and studies problems 

associated with the advertisement of 

food with particular reference to claims 

and misleading descriptions. The 

Committee is chaired by Canada.

Meeting

in authorizing small entities to furnish 

the products and services to the
