Codex Alimentarius was established by FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) to set safety standards in the food trade.

Irrigation equipment testing Desertification and water management Water harvesting technologies Climate monitoring (Risk management) Strategies drought mitigation Refining analytical systems Strategies rehabilitation of degraded lands Efficient irrigation Water recycling

(d) A Unified National Foodstuffs Control System was prepared with the aim of controlling the safety and quality of foodstuffs.

In Japan, the Food Sanitation Law, often referred to as the Japan Agriculture Standards (JAS), seeks to ensure the safety of goods and sets minimum quality requirements for food agricultural, fishery and forestry products, and regulates the use of food additives.

8. The participants recognized that in the food processing sector, packaging, labelling and food safety standards were of special importance in a number of export markets, especially in the OECD countries.

(a) Goal of food security in Tunisia

Adherence to Codex standards helps to ensure the safety of food exports, which can lead to greater access to export markets, especially those in developed countries.

Cluster 6 (food security) provided training to improve food security, project management and advocacy in health education.

The EurepGAP standard, for instance, is likely to become a very important international benchmark for ensuring food safety and consistently high quality of horticultural produce.

Food for vulnerable groups is also being provided by WFP for therapeutic purposes and as a safety net.

In addition to international instruments (such as the Codex Alimentarius), industrialized countries applied domestic guidelines (such as those of the United States Food and Drug Administration) to regulate safety, health, environmental considerations, packaging, animal health, and labelling of food imports.

Gedo is beset with the highest malnutrition rates in Somalia (up to 23 per cent), based in part on chronic food insecurity.

Ethiopian efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals were contingent on the achievement of food security.

2.4.2 Supporting cutting edge research in food security and agriculture

The most illustrative examples of NTBs include plant and animal health standards, food safety standards, environmental certification and other similar export quality standards.

Resolve to integrate food and nutritional support, with the goal that all people at all times will have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences, for an active and healthy life, as part of a comprehensive response to HIV AIDS

At the household level food security is designed to guarantee the whole population physical and financial access to basic foods on a lasting basis.

Foods sold on domestic markets must have labels in the Chinese language.

(c) Maintenance of food and storage safety, with special focus on the Agency's 10 warehouses, 57 food distribution centres and 128 distribution points

There is a general increase in food insecurity and a severe shortage of drinking water, as well as a decline in food consumption and nutritional levels.

81. The goal of food security for all was at the same time the goal of eradicating poverty.

(6) Any containers, packagings, utensils and equipment used for the storage, transportation, loading and unloading of food as well as the conditions under which these operations are carried out must be safe, harmless and kept clean in order to prevent food contamination

(a) Nutrition education and food labelling

Sometimes countries set national norms above accepted international requirements covering areas such as food safety, animal disease, product composition (e.g. in further processed meat products), packaging, labelling and presentation and shortening of acceptable shelf life (which can place imported products at a disadvantage especially for chilled items).

Article 30 Imported foods, food additives and containers, packagings, utensils and equipment used for food must comply with the national hygiene standards and the hygiene control regulations.

Europe and the Global Food Crisis

Several regulations in developed countries apply stringent rules on food quality, packaging and labelling.

In addition, while food hygiene, traceability, and labeling are improving, any amount of negligence when it comes to food safety could have far reaching consequences in the complex and interconnected global food chain. Rising demand for animal products highlights microbiological risks, with animal welfare measures sometimes creating new hazards.

此外 尽管食品卫生 食品溯源和标签在改善 但任何食品安全方面的疏忽都可能在复杂而互相关联的全球粮食链中引起深远的后果 动物产品需求上升凸显微生物风险 而动物福利措施有时会造成新风险 比如 开放家禽饲养增加了禽流感等传染病的传播

Accordingly, the Codex Alimentarius Commission5 has adopted principles for risk analysis of such substances in general, as well as guidelines for food safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant DNA plants and from recombinant DNA micro organisms.

Success in meeting the objectives of the CCD will also require development of appropriate technologies to solve land management problems, enhance food security and sustainable livelihoods.

27. Calls upon all States to integrate food and nutritional support with the goal that children, especially girl children, have access at all times to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences, for an active and healthy life, as part of a comprehensive response to HIV AIDS and other communicable diseases

Even now, there is enough food in the world, with a bumper harvest this year, but more people cannot afford to buy the food they need. Addressing this growing crisis is the aim of the Global Conference on Food Security in Rome on June 3 5.

In order to make the products of the food processing industries competitive on the world market, UNIDO will provide assistance in food safety and quality through specifically designed projects targeting the deficiencies of individual food industry subsectors.

(b) A large number of national standards for foodstuffs, hygienic norms and requirements have been brought into conformity with the relevant recommendations of the Codex Alimentarius, the ECE, FAO and WHO

The rising costs of food, declining food security, lower production costs and cutbacks in public subsidies on basic foodstuffs are also obstacles to the realization of the right to adequate food.

The national report had further indicated that the enforcement of regulatory standards governing the quality of domestic and imported foods was essential to improving food safety.

Indigenous Foods and Local Food Security

The product description for any food or food additive shall not contain exaggerated or false advertising.

Article 14 The administrative department of public health under the State Council shall formulate or approve and promulgate the national hygiene standards, hygiene control regulations and inspection procedures for food, food additives, the containers, packagings, utensils and equipment used for food, the detergents and disinfectants used for washing food or utensils and equipment used for food, and the tolerances for contaminants and radioactive substances in food.

The Security Officer will also be responsible for ensuring that all technology meets rigid security standards before deployment.
