The World Trade Organization (WTO) collaborates with the Codex Alimentarius Commission regarding the use of international food safety standards as a reference point for dispute settlements. Therefore, the correct option is "Codex Alimentarius Commission".

The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1963 to develop food standards, guidelines, and codes of practice to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. The Codex Alimentarius has become an important reference point for the resolution of disputes related to food safety and trade in food products. The WTO recognizes the Codex Alimentarius as the international reference point for food safety standards and encourages its members to use Codex standards as the basis for their national food safety measures.
