Brazil – Anvisa authorizes the depletion of already produced containers following the regularization of food products

The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) has approved a proposal to specifically amend the Collegiate Council Resolution (RDC) 843/2024, allowing for the removal of food and beverage packaging that was produced prior to the inclusion of the new regulatory number mandated by the legislation.

This amendment, formalized through RDC 983/2025 and published on July 28, 2025, addresses the requests from the production sector and prevents material waste, all while ensuring that health safety is not compromised. The removal period will extend up to 180 days following the approval of the registration or notification.

This measure poses no health risks, does not alter the composition of the products, and retains all mandatory information on the labels.
