National Deputy Oscar Agost Carreño (Encuentro Federal) presented a bill aimed at protecting millions of Argentines who suffer from food allergies (Food Allergen Law) by implementing a clear and mandatory labeling system to warn about the presence of allergens in food.
The project seeks to align local regulations with international best practices, establishing standards for packaging to visibly indicate the presence of common allergens, such as milk, egg or gluten. This measure would allow consumers to quickly identify products that pose a risk to their health and avoid accidental exposure.
