MISLEADING FOOD LABELS
123) The Committee recalled that its 28th Session had agreed to consider a discussion paper prepared by the Delegation of the United States on this issue at its 29th Session. However, due to lack of time at the present Session, the Committee agreed that misleading food labels would be considered by the next Session on the basis of the discussion paper (CX/FL 01/13).
DATE AND PLACE OF THE NEXT SESSION
124) The Committee was informed that the next session was tentatively scheduled to be held in Halifax from 6 to 10 May 2002, the exact arrangements to be determined between the host country and the Codex Secretariat.
