Here are a couple of websites with information about CODEX:

The first one is by the National Nutritional Foods Association:

http://www.nnfa.org/services/government/EUdir_Codex_QA.htm

The second is an FDA site, so you can draw you own conclusions about its
trustworthiness:

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dscodex.html

Anyway there they are for you to review and draw your own conclusions. I am
not advocating anything, just providing information.
