Proyecto de decreto relativo a "Rotulado de Alimentos Envasados" (Draft Decree on labelling for packaged foods) (11 pages, in Spanish)

The notified draft Decree proposes the introduction of an Article into the National Bromatological Regulations establishing that any foods packaged in the absence of the customer and available for consumption in the national territory must contain a warning on the front label, whenever sodium, sugars or fats have been added during processing or to any ingredients and the amount of sodium, sugars, fats or saturated fats in the final composition exceeds the established values. Under current legislation, such foods require nutritional labelling in accordance with Decree No. 117/2006.
