/ infoAlimentario

The National Institute for Drug and Food Surveillance (INVIMA in Spanish), in exercise of its inspection, surveillance and control functions, has been implementing rigorous actions to verify compliance with the technical regulation of nutritional and front labeling of packaged and/or packaged foods, in accordance with Resolution 810 of 2021, modified by Resolution 2492 of 2022 and by Resolution 254 of 2023).

Since the entry into force of these regulations, INVIMA has worked with the productive and commercial sector to ensure compliance with the requirements that allow consumers to have clear, understandable and truthful information on the products they consume.

These requirements include warning seals for foods that exceed certain levels of sodium, sugars and fats or contain sweeteners, allowing consumers to make better decisions focused on nutritional information.

During the transitional period, manufacturers, producers and sellers were able to use up stocks of previous labels without the need for authorization. Subsequently, the regulations empowered INVIMA, according to its procedures, to grant food manufacturers the exhaustion of labels and the use of adhesives.
