The Science of Food Standards: The Road from Codex Alimentarius Commission 39 to 40

This publication showcases the steps the Codex Alimentarius has taken from July 2016 (CAC39) to July 2017 (CAC40) on the road to safe and quality food for everyone. Over the course of the year, the 12 technical and 6 regional committees met to discuss updates to the international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice. The "food code's" governing body, known as the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), makes decisions on the committees' proposals during its annual meeting in July.
