Costa Rica – Bill on Front Labeling with Nutritional Warnings for Food Products and Beverages Reintroduced in the National Assembly

On the same day that Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica sent to the archive File No. 23,861, on the draft Law on Front Labeling with Nutritional Warnings for Food Products and Beverages with Non-Alcoholic Content, the deputy of the National Liberation Party, Andrea Álvarez, again presented the draft law to include warnings on the nutritional labeling of food products and non-alcoholic beverages. The initiative, now processed under file 24.840, defends the use of front seals or labels that allow citizens to identify products with a high content of calories, sugars, sodium or fats. It also seeks to warn about the use of sweeteners.
