Codex Alimentarius
​Around 2008 a campaign of slander and misinformation was launched against the Codex Alimentarius. This prompted the consumer programme TROS RADAR on Dutch tv to dedicate an issue to explaining the Codex Alimentarius. I had the pleasure to contribute. The issue is in Dutch language. Recording
