Codex
Feb 07, 2025
The 25th session of the FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for Africa has concluded, following in-depth discussions on topics of regional concern and on new work proposals, and with the nomination of the Gambia as the new Regional Coordinator.
CCAFRICA25 discussed two new work proposals, each of them prepared by Senegal, one for a standard for kethiakh, which is braised or boiled dried fish, and one for tiacry, a regional commodity of precooked cereal vegetable granules. There were extensive discussions on the subject, and the Codex Secretariat gave advice regarding the standards development options, which include developing either an international or a regional standard, each of which has their own implications. The discussions concluded with agreement to start new work on the development of a regional standard for braised or boiled, salted and unsalted, dried fish, and to forward the project document to the 48th session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) for approval. Further work will be done on the proposal for tiacry.
