Codex Alimentarius — An Emerging Threat
February 2005


The Greatest Threat to Freedom of Choice in Health Care that this Century has Ever Produced • by Helke Ferrie

If the following information was a horror movie, we could all sit back with our popcorn and enjoy it. Unfortunately, this is not fiction — and if we don’t do something about it, this nightmare will become waking reality in Canada sometime soon after August 1, 2005. Whatever happens, you will never forget Codex Alimentarius.

Codex is a sub-committee of the United Nations mandated to establish guidelines on food trade issues. Such guidelines are not legally binding for any nation, but nations that are part of the World Trade Organization can be severely sanctioned anyway. In the early 1990s, Codex began to look at establishing internationally “harmonized” standards for food supplements. In 2002 a European Union Directive produced such guidelines for Codex. But after careful scrutiny it appears that the strongest effect of this Directive will be to cut off availability of all vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and most other essential nutrients by re-classifying them as pharmaceutical drugs, eventually available by prescription only and manufactured by pharmaceutical companies from synthetic materials, including genetically engineered substances.

Due to interlocking international treaties (the WTO established in 1995, and the still to be ratified Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA)), Canada and the U.S. would be faced with serious sanctions if they don’t adopt these European guidelines. Codex authority is already part of these treaty texts. As a result, Australia, Norway, Denmark and Germany have already adopted these “foods as drugs” guidelines.

Furthermore, Health Canada’s own website already lists the European Parliament Commission’s “upper safe limits” on supplements as desirable for Canadians to follow. So without parliamentary debate, Health Canada quietly moved all supplements to the “drug” category effective January 2004, in order to get us ready to be “harmonized.” This treachery prompted Bill C-420 (explained later).
