Journal, magazine, bulletinFAO journalCodex: Together
Protecting health, facilitating trade
2025Also available in:
No results found.The 2025 edition of the CODEX magazine, published to coincide with the 48th meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, is produced under the theme “Together”. In it, we recognize the unity of purpose that is a hallmark of Codex work, while acknowledging that an important part of that work is to find ways of negotiating Members’ divergent opinions, competing national priorities, and different capacities. In the magazine, we also identify ways in which committees work together, Members join forces, and processes converge to streamline our work through effective collaboration. We hear from a range of contributors looking from different perspectives, from Members, Observers, representatives of the Commission’s parent organizations (FAO and WHO), and from the Codex Secretariat. And, as ever, we learn about the work of Codex committees and the texts and proposals that have been forwarded to CAC48. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (series)Manual / guideCodex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual
Thirtieth edition
2025The Procedural Manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission helps national delegations and international organizations attending as observers, participate effectively in the work of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. It sets out the basic rules of procedure, procedures for the elaboration of Codex standards and related texts, and basic definitions and guidelines for the operation of Codex committees. It also gives the membership of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The 30th edition of the Codex Procedural Manual continues to work towards a harmonization of language, particularly around synonymous terminology, thus setting precedent for Codex’s other written materials. Specifically, this latest edition contains three changes to "Section 4.6: Risk analysis principles applied by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods", 1) a revision of "Annex C: Approach for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs to one or more species"; 2) the inclusion of "Annex D: Criteria and procedures for the establishment of action levels for residues of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from unavoidable and unintentional veterinary drug carryover in non-target animal feed"; and 3) a consequential amendment to paragraph 133, Establishment of priority list. In "Section 5.1: Table of committees, document references and terms of reference", following the decision by the Commission to reactivate the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes, this committee was moved from “commodity committees (adjourned sine die)” to “commodity committees (active)”. Finally, editorial changes have been made to more consistently apply abbreviations and provide more accurate cross-referencing by numbering subsections.
