Manufacturers and food labeling are on the sight of ANVISA
National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) will require food manufacturers to change the labels of foods produced or imported/commercialized in the country.
Packaging will require even clearer information, such as a warning for products with high added sugar, saturated fat and sodium.
Anvisa proposes that this warning should appear on the front of the package, with a magnifying glass design.
The new regulation is in public consultation for 45 (forty five) days. Strictly speaking, to comply with legal formality, since the Anvisa Board is steady in this obligation and only a new technical fact or any judicial measure can avoid or postpone this new rules.
The Public Law and Regulatory Department of NHM Advogados will keep following up the initiatives by ANVISA, and it will be at your service to render any assistance related to the issue.
