The organization the Power of the Consumer has reported that it has filed a legal protection action against the modification process of NOM-051, which alters the implementation of the third phase of front labeling for food products and postpones it until January 2028, citing various irregularities and deficiencies in the process.

In this regard, Javier Zúñiga, the Legal Coordinator at El Poder del Consumidor, stated: “The purpose of the legal protection action is to allow us to discuss essential aspects of labeling within the NOM-051 process, such as the size of warning labels and the placement of the octagons. It is important to note that there were several irregularities during the process, and if these are not rectified, we would be facing violations of consumer rights, including the right to health and information.”
