On Thursday, June 27, representatives of the National Food Institute (INAL in Spanish) participated in a new edition of the Innocuus 2025 Congress, a recognized space for technical and scientific exchange focused on food safety.

During the meeting, the main guidelines of the recent Decree No 35/2025, which establishes a simplified procedure for food imports into Argentina, were presented. This new regulation replaces Decree No. 2126/71, in force for more than five decades, and marks a milestone in the modernization of the regulatory system for foreign food trade, in line with technological advances and the requirements of the international context.

One of the most important aspects was the role of INAL as a key technical and sanitary agency, not only in the development of the new regulatory circuit in coordination with other entities involved, but also in its implementation, particularly with regard to ex post controls through tools such as the Imported Food Monitoring Program (PMI in Spanish).
