The Federal Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS in Spanish) recognized the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN in Spanish) for declaring the constitutionality of the front labeling of prepackaged food and non-alcoholic beverages.
Such provision indicates the products that exceed the maximum limits of energy content, added sugars, saturated fats, sodium and other critical nutrients and ingredients established by such provisions.
It is worth noting that the SCJN plenary determined that front labeling fulfills a constitutionally valid purpose, by inhibiting or discouraging the consumption of certain foods to avoid chronic non-communicable diseases; to make effective the right to nutritious, sufficient and quality food, as well as to protect the right to health of the population.
