The National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) and the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of Argentina, thru Joint Resolutions 2/2025, include maca under the heading “Roots and Tubers.” The regulation was driven by the technical background of the Peruvian Standards and establishes a regulatory framework for:

• Toasted maca flour: Product obtained from the dehydrated and ground root.
• Gelatinized maca flour: Product subjected to an extrusion process, intended for use in dietary supplements, with a maximum intake of 1.5 grams per day.
• Both products must meet rigorous microbiological criteria and contaminant limits, ensuring their safety and quality for consumption.
