Subj: Codex website
Date: 97-11-12 08:25:51 EST
From: Ellen.Matten@usda.gov (Matten, Ellen)
USCODEX has a website. It can be reached via the USDA web site or
directly. Its URL is http://www.usda.gov/agency/fsis/codex/index.htm .
Thank you for your sending us a copy of your attempt to correct some of
the misapprehensions about Codex which can be found on the Internet. I
hope you have better success than we have had in assuring folks that
Codex standards are not binding unless Congress agrees to make them
binding. The vitamin and mineral supplemeints are of particulary
concern for many people. In actuality, Codex has dropped any
consideration about herbal supplements and has returned the proposed
vitamin and mineral back to step 3 for government comments. You might
check the Codex website in Rome for their statement on the subject.(It
can be reached via our website).
Sincerely,
Ellen Y. Matten
Staff Officer
