• D. Jointly established by FSSAI and HACCP

Hint:

The Codex Alimentarius Commission plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and fairness of international food trade. It sets internationally recognized food standards to help protect consumer health.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) is an international body responsible for establishing food standards, guidelines, and codes of practice to protect consumer health and ensure fair practices in food trade.
1. Option (1) is correct. The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1963. These organizations work together to develop food standards and guidelines for global trade and consumer protection.
2. Option (2) is incorrect because HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system, not an organization that established Codex.
3. Option (3) is incorrect because FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is an Indian organization and did not establish Codex Alimentarius.
4. Option (4) is incorrect because although FSSAI is a food safety authority, it is not involved in the establishment of Codex, and HACCP is not directly involved in the establishment either.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1): Jointly established by Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization.
