Codex Alimentarius is an international code of guidelines and practices for safe food trade, created by which organizations?

• A. WHO and UNICEF.
• B. FAO and IMF.
• C. WHO and FAO.
• D. CDC and FDA.

Answer: (C)

Codex Alimentarius is the product of a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It was created to develop internationally recognized standards, guidelines, and codes of practice for safe food handling, processing, and labeling, with the goal of protecting consumer health and facilitating fair trade in food across borders. Nations use Codex standards as references when forming their own regulations, which helps ensure consistency in food safety worldwide. The other organizations listed—UNICEF, IMF, CDC, and FDA—do not co-create Codex.
