News analysis: decoding Codex -- 5/1/2005 4:00:04 PM It would seem from a strictly literal reading of the law that there should be little concern for Codex’s effects on U.S. statutes and, thus, on U.S. consumers’ continued ability to obtain supplements, natural or synthetic, in current amounts and incarnations—save those that have been banned by FDA. However, there is concern in some quarters that this is not true, that Codex may mean a severely curtailed supplements market. http://www.naturalfoodsmerchandiser.com/ASP/1431/Display-Article
Weston A. Price Foundation - CODEX Guidelines on Dietary Supplements 22 April 2005 -- The 28th meeting of The Codex Alimentarius Commission in Rome July 4th to 9th 2005 will consider adopting vitamin and mineral guidelines based on regulatory principles that, while not immediately limiting the access to dietary supplements of consumers in the United States, could significantly restrict access to vitamin and mineral supplements worldwide. Consumers should act to urge adoption of U.S. law as the international standard. http://www.westonaprice.org/federalupdate/aa2005/infoalert_042205.html
