Alejandro Bongiovanni and Daiana Fernández Molero, members of the Republican Proposal party (PRO in Spanish), are promoting a bill in Congress to repeal the Law for the Promotion of Healthy Food – Front Labeling Regime Law No. 27.642. For the deputies, the legislation passed in December 2021, “has served only to confuse consumers and hinder the international trade of Argentine products.
The project consists of three articles and aims at “restoring the freedom of food producers and consumers, through the repeal of the Front Labeling Regime Law No. 27,642, whose objectives are met more effectively with the regulations already in force in the Food Code in relation to labeling, marketing and information”.
