Through the February 5, 2025 agreement published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), the Government repealed the Decree that prohibited the use of transgenic corn for human consumption, thus complying with the ruling issued by a panel of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC). The Ministry of Economy confirmed that it repeals the provision established on February 13, 2023, which prohibited authorizing the use of genetically modified corn for human consumption. The controversial measure was adopted after the Mexican government decided to impose restrictions on transgenic corn, which led the United States to request the intervention of a panel under the T-MEC in August 2023. The US government argued that the ban was not supported by scientific evidence showing that genetically modified corn posed a risk to human health.
