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 include canaryseed in article 660.

The incorporated canaryseed must be duly identified with the corresponding variety and bear the legend “Suitable for human consumption”. From a nutritional point of view, the grain has a protein content 5% higher than wheat and does not contain gluten, which positions it as a promising ingredient for functional foods and special diets.
