SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Codex was established in 1963 by two United Nations organizations, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. Through adoption of food standards, codes of practice, and other guidelines developed by its committees, and by promoting their adoption and implementation by governments, Codex seeks to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. The U.S. Codex Program is a U.S. Government interagency partnership that engages stakeholders in advancing science-based international food standards to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. The U.S. Codex Office (USCO), housed in USDA's Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs mission area, acts as the national focal point for the U.S. Program. USCO manages the planning, support, policy development, and coordination of U.S. involvement in Codex, develops strategies to accomplish U.S. objectives, and serves as secretariat for U.S.-hosted committees. Public Meeting At the November 2, 2018, public meeting, U.S. Codex Program Goals and Objectives will be discussed, and attendees will have the opportunity to pose questions and offer comments. Written comments may be offered at the public meeting, or submitted after the meeting (by November 6, 2018) to [email protected] (see ADDRESSES). Written comments should state that they relate to the FY2019-2023 U.S. Codex Program Strategic Plan.
