The Codex Secretariat has extended the deadline for countries to participate in the second survey to measure the use and impact of Codex texts. The new date to complete the survey is 15 November 2023.

“It is important for us to hear from our Members. We hope that the new deadline gives more time to collect the information and participate in the survey”, said Farid El Haffar, Codex Secretariat Officer in charge of the survey.

This year, the survey focuses on the General Standard for Food Additives, Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling, Recommended Methods of Analysis and Sampling, and Guidelines on Performance Criteria for Methods of Analysis for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Food and Feed.

Each Codex Member Country should answer the survey: Codex Contact Points are encouraged to coordinate with the key stakeholders in their country, which could include convening the National Codex Committee or team. The survey data will be aggregated, and analysis will be conducted at the global and regional levels to determine trends. No individual country responses will be shared.
