The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) publishes the update of the Food Library. Libraries are documents that gather all the current regulations on a general topic, organized by themes. Their objective is to facilitate access to and understanding of the regulatory collection for both internal and external audiences, as well as to improve the process of drafting and reviewing regulations.

The objective is to ensure the safety and quality of food, including beverages, bottled water, ingredients, raw materials, food additives and technological aids, materials in contact with food, contaminants, residues of veterinary medicines, labeling, and technological innovations in food products.
