FAO, Who Push Codex to Work Faster
GENEVA - Jun 28/04 - SNS -- The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are showing some impatience with the pace at which the Codex Alimentarius Commission is conducting its work.

This notion sparked the FAO and WHO to urge the Codex Commission to seek additional ways to address risks throughout the food chain.
In response, the Codex Commission is set to approve a Code of Practice on Good Animal Feeding that would establish a feed safety system for food producing animals.
It would take into account relevant aspects of animal health and the environment in order to minimize risks to the health of consumers.
