Overview of the Mexican Labeling Standards and the New Labeling Requirements

In this 90 minutes session, attendees will learn the Mexican labeling standard as well as and the new requirements regarding the use of Front of Pack icons and the voluntary nutritional quality seal. 

Why Should You Attend:

On July 2016, the Mexican labeling standard NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010 and its amendments, has entered into full force. All importers and producers of processed food products must know and apply these regulations in the labels of their products intended to be imported and commercialized in Mexico.

The changes established in the regulations are mandatory for food and non-alcoholic beverage products. The amendments to the regulation also include a "voluntary nutritional quality seal" that would be awarded to those products that comply with specific requirements established in the new regulation and by request of the manufacturer of the product. This nutritional quality seal will provide the manufacturers a marketing advantage over other similar products based on the nutritional contents of their products.
