BREAKING NEWS – July 5, 2005 Codex Guidelines: Adopted, But No Threat to U.S. Supplement SalesIn Rome yesterday the Codex Alimentarius Commission adopted guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements after years of debate in committee. For those countries that choose to adopt them, these guidelines will establish maximum levels of vitamins and minerals based on safety evaluation through risk assessment rather than on RDIs (recommended dietary intake). Although NNFA has opposed maximum upper limits on vitamins and minerals, the association agrees that in the event such guidelines are issued, they be based on sound science. But regardless of the adoption of the guidelines, consumer access to dietary supplements in the United States is not in danger. Domestically, dietary supplements are protected by U.S. law, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which will continue to govern sales here. Dietary supplements have additional protections under the law, which are detailed in a recently added report from the Congressional Research Service.

The National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) has created the Codex Alimentarius Resource Center to help its members and others better understand this international body, its activities and their impact in the United States. Here you will find a collection of information and resources, including links to sites that can provide more in-depth information.

I hope this "reprieve" has some reality, which, such "stays of execution," often have the stubborn tendency to be overturned next week. Whatever time period is implied before Codex Guidelines do become a threat to U. S. Supplement Sales, I'm hoping we'll be given a grace period within which to make the adjustment.
