Abstract: The Codex Alimentarius (CA) Commission developed international standards for edible fats and oils so there would be an established legal and administrative procedure for regional or worldwide product distribution. This includes those products subjected to processes of modification; oils and fats that must be specially processed for human consumption are not covered. However, this standard does not apply to any oil or fat subjected to a specific Codes Commodity standard which is designated by a specific name laid down in such standards. There are 8 major sections under this CA standard covering definitions of fats and oils through methods of analysis and sampling. (kbc).
