The National Health Surveillance Agency (in Portuguese) promoted a virtual sectoral dialogue on added sugars. The event was attended by around 550 representatives from different segments of society, including the productive sector, civil society, universities and federal public administration agencies.

Doubts were clarified on the nutritional labeling of added sugars, as well as other points on the declaration of added sugars that require treatment in Mercosur. The purpose of the meeting was also to gather contributions from the different agents interested or affected by the issue, in order to improve the implementation of nutrition labeling standards and also to assist in the negotiation of the issue with the other Mercosur Member States.
