In Peru, the “International Conference on the growth of the cage-free egg industry and the need for a transparent labeling law” was the first meeting of national and international specialists from the poultry sector to discuss the current reality of the egg industry in this country.
During the meeting, they discussed the egg labeling bill, presented by Congresswoman Sigrid Bazán, which promotes transparency in the information offered to consumers on poultry production methods.
The congresswoman gave details on Bill No. 418/2023-CR, known as the “Law that promotes consumer rights in egg labeling”, which has been presented to the Commission for Consumer Defense and Regulatory Agencies of Public Services, as well as to the Agrarian Commission. Although the initiative has not yet been debated within these commissions, Congresswoman Bazán has strong arguments to motivate its approval.
