The coalition Dominicana Saludable presented details of the process and content of the draft resolution on Front-End Nutritional Warning Labeling (EFAN in Spanish) that is being managed by the Ministry of Public Health.
The entity informed that the EFAN resolution project has been in process for more than two years and that so far we do not have a final document, much less an official regulation.
It is worth noting that this is the closest we have been to the EFAN Resolution, since last Monday the 13th was the deadline for the public hearing to propose the changes that the public considered important.
We hope that the official document will be released as soon as possible, although we know that strong interests linked to the food industry are pressuring so that this resolution does not come out and if it does come out that it does not comply with the standards established by the Pan American Health Organization and other entities in the Region that have made their recommendations to the Ministry of Health.
