The National Institute for the Protection of Consumer Rights (Pro Consumidor) issued Resolution 1579-2022 which sets a term of 120 calendar days for industrialists, traders and importers to comply with the labeling regulations in the Dominican Republic.
This was informed by the executive director of Pro Consumidor, Dr. Eddy Alcántara, following the issuance of the resolution, on which he explained that the same establishes that “any individual or legal entity that commercializes, imports, produces or has ordered the partial or total production to a third party of a previously packaged food must comply with the requirements of the product labels as established by NORDOM 53”.
