The Peruvian Foreign Trade Association (Comex Perú in Spanish), indicated that draft laws have been presented that seek to influence the regulation of food and beverage packaging, which would contravene international regulations and denaturalize the national regulations in force, posing risks to the health of the population and the fulfillment of international commitments.

The international trade association pointed out that the packaging of processed foods and beverages is regulated by a group of national provisions. Thus, there is the Regulation of Surveillance and Sanitary Control of Food and Beverages (Supreme Decree 007-98-SA), the Code of Consumer Protection and Defense (Consumer Code) and the Law for the Promotion of Healthy Food for Children and Adolescents (Law 30021).
