The President of the Senate, Laura Itzel Castillo, announced that within the framework of discussions regarding the economic package (reforms to the Federal Tax Code and the Federal Rights Law), she will present a complementary initiative concerning the labeling of genetically modified products. The aim is to provide consumers with clear information about the food they purchase. The legislator clarified that this proposal will support the reform of Articles 4 and 27 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, which protects native corn and prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified grains in Mexico.

She also emphasized that the review of these issues will be a priority on the economic agenda, as the modifications seek to strengthen public revenues and promote responsible consumption, particularly concerning products that have a significant impact on health.
