By means of Joint Resolution 32/2025, the Secretariat of Health Management and the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries have modified the Argentine Food Code to incorporate avocado oil into Article 528.

The regulation establishes that the oil must come from the mesocarp of the Persea americana fruit or from the processing of the whole fruit by exclusively mechanical means. The use of additives is not permitted and specific quality standards are set, such as a predominance of oleic acid of 42% to 75%, a peroxide index of less than 10 meq O/kg and standardized physicochemical parameters. The product stands out for its nutritional properties and represents a diversification opportunity for the Argentine agri-food sector.
