Thru General Agreement 7/2026-AAG, published this Thursday in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF), the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) announced the postponement of the resolution of approximately 25 amparo trials promoted by bottling companies of the Coca-Cola system. These appeals seek to challenge the constitutionality of the federal regulations issued in 2023 and 2024, which prohibit the sale, distribution, and advertising of low-nutritional-value foods (junk food) in public and private schools of the National Educational System.

This measure originates from the decree of September 30, 2024, which reformed the General Education Law in terms of food health (the foundations of which were originally published on December 20, 2023). From this reform emerged the “General Guidelines to which the preparation, distribution, and sale of prepared, processed, and bulk foods and beverages, as well as the promotion of healthy eating lifestyles, within all schools of the National Educational System, must adhere,” still in effect to date. The SCJN detailed that the prohibition of these products in schools will remain in effect while the High Court resolves the amparos under review 20/2026 and 91/2026.
