Law 1941 was sent to the Executive Power for its enactment. Next Tuesday, May 30 is the deadline for the Executive Branch to observe or publish the Law that allows baby formulas and dairy supplements not to carry the warning octagons that allow consumers to know if they are high in sugar, sodium, carbohydrates or other components harmful to health.
According to the glossary of terms contained in the initiative, special diet foods “are foods or beverages specially made or prepared to satisfy particular dietary needs determined by particular physical or physiological conditions and/or specific diseases or disorders and presented as such”.
This decision was made despite the fact that the current Healthy Food Law states that if foods meet or exceed the levels of sugar, sodium and saturated fats, they must bear the warning octagons.
