Coconut in Codex : In 2004 Codex regulations on fruit juice at an IFU conference in Stuttgart, Paul Zwicker, head of the IFU codex task force, confirmed that after much deliberation the IFU has decided that coconut water is a fruit juice and is therefore subject to the regulations of Codex.

After numerous meetings and subsequent alterations to the regulations the Codex commission finally adopted the new Codex General Standard for Fruit Juices and Nectars by the end of 2005.
