The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.

MODIFICACIÓN DEL DECRETO SUPREMO N°977/96, MINISTERIO DE SALUD, REGLAMENTO SANITARIO DE LOS ALIMENTOS, TÍTULO VIII DE LAS LECHES Y PRODUCTOS LÁCTEOS, ARTÍCULO 203, TÍTULO XV DE LOS ALIMENTOS FARINÁCEOS PÁRRAFO II DE LAS HARINAS ARTÍCULO 350, TÍTULO XXVII DE LAS BEBIDAS ANALCOHÓLICAS, JUGOS DE FRUTA Y HORTALIZAS Y AGUAS ENVASADAS, PÁRRAFO I DE LAS BEBIDAS ANALCOHOLICAS ARTÍCULO 481 BIS (Amendment to Supreme Decree No. 977/96, Ministry of Health, Food Health Regulations, Section VIII Milk and milk

The Republic of Chile hereby advises that Ministry of Health Decree No. 29, issued on 1 September 2023, superseding Ministry of Health Decree No. 48, issued on 11 May 2022, has been published.__________

The aim of the present amendment is to implement a public health programme to rectify the situation identified through the National Health Survey 2017, which revealed that a large part of the Chilean population has a vitamin D deficiency. There are many reasons for this deficiency, mainly related to low levels of exposure to sunshine and low dietary intake of vitamin D, a high level of sedentariness among the Chilean population, the latitude of the country, and the high degree of obesity among the population, resulting in lower vitamin D levels in the blood. This highlights the urgent need to implement a public health programme to rectify the situation.
