Find your country's enquiry point on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)The proposal seeks the approval of a new MERCOSUR Technical Regulation on the labeling of packaged foods, which modernizes and replaces previous standards in order to ensure that consumer information is truthful, clear, legible, and sufficient. The draft Technical Regulation establishes definitions, general and specific requirements for the presentation of mandatory information (including ingredients, origin, shelf life, storage, and nutritional information), sets formatting criteria to ensure legibility, determines conditions for specific cases (such as small packages, foods for industrial processing, or imported foods), and provides differentiated compliance deadlines for the different types of products and economic operators.
