Codex updated the General Standard for Food Additives with targeted revisions covering soybean-based beverages, steviol glycosides in processed meat products, and nisin nomenclature.

Codex also adopted new guidance on precautionary allergen labeling and emergency food labeling, adding science-based rules to the pre-packaged food labeling standard.

The adopted texts include revisions to the General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA, CXS 192-1995) and introduced new guidelines for precautionary allergen labeling. These science-based standards and guidelines are now added to the Codex Alimentarius.
