Argentina – Appeal filed with the Ministry of Health against changes in the front-end labeling law

The Inter-American Heart Foundation (FIC in Spanish), together with the Argentine Federation of Graduates in Nutrition (FAGRAN in Spanish), filed two appeals before the Ministry of Health to demand the suspension of the modifications to the front labeling law, implemented late last year by Milei’s administration.

“These modifications, published at the end of 2024 in the Official Gazette, introduce regressive changes that contradict the spirit of the law and directly affect the right of the population to access clear and truthful information about the products they consume”, stated from FIC.

The foundation maintains that “provisions 11362/2024 and 11378/2024” of the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) “alarmingly weaken the Law for the Promotion of Healthy Food (PAS Law) and its regulations”.
