In both 2020 and 2021, there have been important changes and developments at the regulatory level for food and dietary supplements. Now, what other changes can we expect in 2022?

As of October 2022, frontal nutritional labeling must begin to be implemented in Brazil, in addition to changes in the nutritional table. The main challenge is to harmonize the nutritional labeling of the Mercosur bloc, of which Brazil is a part.

Another relevant issue, from which we can expect changes in 2022, refers to the area of food additives. The Mercosur bloc, which has been reviewing the harmonized regulation of food additives for years, is expected to reach an agreement and could make the update next year.
