Anvisa published, on 10/09, Resolution of the Collegiate Council (RDC) 819/2023, which specifically amends RDC 429/2020. As a result, the stock of containers and labels acquired by companies is allowed to be used up before October 8 of this year. These materials may be used until October 9, 2024.

The Agency’s decision considered, above all, the impacts of the pandemic on the food sector, including imbalances in the logistic supply chain, as well as the variation in the purchasing power of Brazilians and the consequent impact on the consumption of products.

It is important to note that DRC 819/2023 allows the use of only the existing stock of containers purchased up to October 8. Any and all packaging purchases made after October 9 of this year must comply with the provisions of RDC 429/2020 and Normative Instruction (IN) 75/2020.
