Codex
Oct 03, 2023
The Codex Secretariat is conducting a yearly survey for all Codex Members to measure the use and impact of Codex texts. Mandated to monitor this topic through the Codex Strategic Plan 2020–2025, in 2021, the Secretariat, in collaboration with FAO and WHO evaluation offices, has began developing a mechanism to explore issues such as accessibility, relevance and credibility concerning Codex standards. The 2022 survey served as the pilot for this new endeavour.
The report of the Codex Survey 2022 presents the results of the first pilot survey on the use and impact of Codex texts. The survey focused on the following Codex texts: General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed, General Principles of Food Hygiene, General Standard for the Labelling of Pre-packaged Foods, and General Principles for the Addition of Essential Nutrients to Foods.
