The Regional Integration Commission of the Congress of the Republic dusted off a 2018 bill that seeks to force the food industry to adhere to the packaging, the main nutritional information of its products sold in the local market.

Bill 5504, Law for the Promotion of Healthy Eating, already known in second reading, would establish factories to put a label with nutritional warnings.

These recommendations would consist of black octagons that would explain whether the content is high in sugars, saturated and total fats, or sodium, in addition to other details of processed foods marketed in the country.
