For instance, the <b>Codex Alimentarius Commission<\/b> has 189 member countries and many observer organizations. Its standards cover the whole food chain \u2013 from hygiene and additives to labeling and pesticide limits. Because Codex texts are risk-based and transparent, regulators can use them in national laws, and producers can follow them voluntarily. The U.S. blog notes: <i>\u201cFood regulators can incorporate Codex texts into their regulations knowing they are science and risk-based, while being no more trade restrictive than necessary. Food producers can follow Codex texts... to ensure their products are safe while maximizing their potential to enter international trade.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Other international schemes reinforce safety. <b>ISO 22000<\/b> applies to any food-chain organization, small or large, helping them <b>document controls<\/b> and <b>improve traceability.<\/b> Certification under ISO 22000 or the <b>GFSI-recognized FSSC 22000<\/b> means an <b>independent audit<\/b> has verified the company\u2019s food safety system. <b>Benefits include<\/b> <i>\u201ca comprehensive, systematic, and proactive approach to identifying food safety hazards\u201d<\/i>, better HACCP implementation, and <i>\u201cincreased traceability\u201d<\/i> in the food chain.
