Brazil – New updated version of the Food Library published

The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) has published the updated version for June 2025 of the Food Library. The libraries are documents that gather all the standards in force for a given macro-topic, divided by themes. The objective is to facilitate access and understanding of the regulatory acquis to internal and external audiences, as well as to optimize the process of drafting and reviewing regulations.

Among the topics covered are:

  • Food regulation and risk assessment.
  • Food additives and contaminants.
  • Labeling.
  • Food supplements.
  • Foods for special uses.
  • Good Manufacturing Practices and Food Service.
  • Sanitary control and inspection.
  • Food imports.
