The National Agency for Regulation, Control and Sanitary Surveillance (ARCSA in Spanish) has published a report on Regulatory Impact Analysis on the health risk generated by the consumption of processed foods that do not meet their quality and safety specifications.
The purpose of the report is to establish new guidelines for food processing plants to guarantee to the general population the supply and consumption of processed foods that meet their quality and safety specifications, through the presentation of laboratory analyses, stability studies and technical specifications, minimizing the probability of contracting foodborne diseases (FBDs) that compromise public health.
