The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) has extended by 45 more days the deadline for submitting contributions to Public Consultation No. 1.324/2025, on the proposed Normative Instruction establishing the specifications of identity, purity and composition of food ingredients authorized for use in food, and to Public Consultation No. 1,325/2025, which addresses the proposed Resolution of the Board of Directors amending RDC No. 243/2018, RDC 839/2023 and Normative Instruction No. 28/2018.

It should be recalled that DRC No. 243/2018 establishes the sanitary requirements for food supplements and that DRC No. 839/2023 addresses the verification of the safety and authorization of use of novel foods and ingredients. Regulatory Instruction No. 28/2018 establishes the lists of components, limits of use, declarations and supplementary labeling for food supplements.

The proposals continue with measures to modernize the regulatory framework, flows and procedures for novel foods and novel ingredients.
