Book (stand-alone)Utilisation et effets des textes du Codex
Rapport de l’enquête du Codex 2022
2024Le Secrétariat du Codex réalise une enquête annuelle auprès de tous les membres du Codex afin de mesurer l’utilisation et les effets des textes du Codex. Mandaté pour suivre cette question dans le cadre du Plan stratégique du Codex 2020-2025, le Secrétariat collabore depuis 2021 avec les bureaux de l’évaluation de la FAO et de l’OMS en vue d’élaborer un mécanisme permettant d’explorer diverses problématiques, telles que l’accessibilité, la pertinence et la crédibilité des normes du Codex. Dans cet objectif, l’enquête 2022 a servi de pilote. Le rapport de l’enquête 2022 sur le Codex présente les résultats de la première enquête pilote sur l’utilisation et les effets des textes du Codex. L’enquête s'est centrée sur les textes du Codex suivants: Norme générale pour les contaminants et les toxines présents dans les produits de consommation humaine et animale, Principes généraux d’hygiène alimentaire, Norme générale pour l’étiquetage des denrées alimentaires préemballées et Principes généraux régissant l’adjonction d’éléments nutritifs essentiels aux aliments. Elle fournit des informations sur la portée, la pertinence, la reconnaissance et l’utilisation des textes du Codex, et en fin de compte, sur leurs effets. Le rapport met en lumière les obstacles à l’adoption des textes du Codex par les membres et propose un ensemble de recommandations. -
BookletFood allergies – Leaving no one behind
Food safety technical toolkit for Asia and the Pacific No. 4
2021Also available in:
No results found.Food allergies may impact only parts of the world’s population, but that impact can be lethal. It is, therefore, extremely important that food labels contain sufficient information to enable allergic people to avoid the risks of allergic reactions. National contexts can differ in terms of predominance of food allergies and, thus, investigation is necessary within countries to understand what foods should be labelled, and determine the allowable quantities of food allergens, including those that are considered dangerous, that may unintentionally be present in foods. International standards have been developed by the Codex Alimentarius which include a list of allergens that should always be included on the label; however, the food allergens recognized by Codex may not necessarily cover the whole list of food allergens that have an impact on different populations. This document illustrates some examples of current practices to establish labelling regulations for food allergens, with a focus on the Japanese case, which was the first country to establish a national regulation to address the topic. The process of establishing the list of food allergens that require labelling, as well as the process to establish the maximum limits of undesired allergens tolerated in pre-packaged foods, is provided as an introductory example. -
Book (series)Risk Assessment of Food Allergens. Part 1: Review and validation of Codex Alimentarius priority allergen list through risk assessment
Meeting report
2022Also available in:
No results found.The labelling of food allergens in pre-packaged foods plays a key role in protecting food allergic individuals, as no preventative clinical treatment is currently available. The list of major foods and ingredients known to cause hypersensitivity was included into the Codex General Standard for the Labelling of Packaged Foods (GSLPF) in 1999. There have been many scientific developments in the understanding of food allergens and their management since the original drafting of the GSLPF. Thus, in response to the request from Codex for scientific advice, including current evidence of consumer understanding of allergens, FAO and WHO convened a series of three expert meetings to provide scientific advice on this subject. The purpose of the first meeting of the Ad hoc Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Risk Assessment of Food Allergens was to review and validate the Codex priority allergen list through risk assessment. This report focuses on the deliberations and conclusions of this meeting. -
