The Standing Committee of the Congress unanimously approved, in the first vote, the opinion of Bill 3933, which modifies Law 30021, Law for the Promotion of Healthy Eating for children and adolescents, regarding the use of stickers that are difficult to remove.

Elías Varas Meléndez (PB), president of the Commission for Consumer Defense and Regulatory Bodies of Public Services, stated during the presentation that what is sought with the advertising stickers is the protection of human health and to adequately inform the consumer (children and adolescents to prevent obesity, overweight and non-communicable diseases).

He said that suppliers will adapt to the modification established in this law within a term not exceeding sixty calendar days, counted from its entry into force.
