The Natural Products Committee of the Exporters Association (ADEX) reiterated the importance of promoting the creation of a Health Registry for Food Supplements, as outlined in Bill No. 6435/2023-CR, approved by the Health Commission of Congress in April 2025 and currently pending debate in the Plenary.

The initiative seeks to establish a specific regulatory framework for this category, under the authority of the General Directorate of Environmental Health and Food Safety (DIGESA in Spanish), thru the implementation of a Sanitary Regulation.

He indicated that having differentiated regulation will provide greater legal certainty to companies, strengthen the competitiveness of the sector, and align national legislation with global standards and the guidelines promoted by the Pacific Alliance.
