How does Codex Alimentarius address dietary components linked to cancer prevention?
Beyond setting safety standards, the Codex Alimentarius Commission also provides guidelines on nutrition and health claims. This includes regulations on labeling and marketing of foods that claim to have cancer-preventive properties, ensuring that such claims are scientifically substantiated. This helps consumers make informed choices about foods that may reduce their cancer risk, such as those rich in antioxidants, fiber, and other protective nutrients.
