The Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) has a substantial influence over the structure and operation of food systems by setting international standards that affect the composition, structure and labelling of food. Despite the dual mandates of Codex to protect public health and ensure fair practices in food trade, food systems are increasingly unhealthy and unsustainable. An ecological reorientation of the decision-making elements that influence how Codex sets food standards—particularly mandates, governance and risk assessment—could help transform food systems towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

食品法典委员会的生态重新定位有助于改变粮食系统
食品法典委员会(Codex)通过制定影响食品成分、结构和标签的国际标准,对食品系统的结构和运作产生重大影响。尽管法典肩负着保护公众健康和确保食品贸易公平做法的双重使命,但食品系统却越来越不健康和不可持续。对影响食典委如何制定食品标准的决策要素进行生态重新定位,特别是指令、治理和风险评估,有助于将粮食系统转变为联合国可持续发展目标。
