The National Administration of Medicines, Food and Technology (ANMAT) shared the information to request the recognition as “Vegan Product”. ANMAT made available the information to request the official recognition for the use of the labeling of the “vegan attribute” in different food products.
Thus, by means of the resolution of the Secretariat of Health Quality of the Ministry of Health together with the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy, Article 229 was incorporated into the Argentine Food Code (CAA), establishing the requirements to identify on food labels the legends: “Vegan Product or Food” and “Vegetarian Product or Food”.
