Singapore Singapore Food Agency Full time

**What the role is**
- Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), commonly known as Codex, is the international food standard-setting body established by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). International food standards set by Codex are recognized as reference standards for international trade under the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement).
The National Codex Office (NCO) is a set-up within SFA to strengthen Singapore’s participation in Codex activities, formulate national positions and coordinate issues relating to food safety standards. The NCO aims to safeguard and advance national interests in international food safety and supply issues to position Singapore as a thought-leader in Codex, and leverages on the expertise and experience of academia and industry to ensure standards are relevant to our local context. It provides secretariat support for the National Codex Committee (NCC), which roles are to advise on Codex matters based on science and Singapore’s interests, and matters related to development and adoption of international standards in Singapore.

- Prepare, manage and distribute information relating to Codex both internally within SFA (e.g. for the lead officers of various Codex Committees, developing internal newsletters) and externally, (e.g. SFA website on Codex activities, promotion of Codex activities in Singapore).
- Manage the day-to-day duties of the NCO, including acting as point of contact between Codex and Singapore, and providing secretariat support for the NCC.

**Requirements**:
