NOM-051-SCFI / SSAI-2010, General labeling specifications for food and non-alcoholic beverages
prepackaged - commercial and health information.
Among the main changes that were approved in this NOM, is the
front warning labeling that will allow the consumer to identify faster, clearer and easier to identify products with excess of critical nutrients:
sugars, trans fats, saturated fats, sodium and energy content.
In the nutritional table you will already be able to find what the amount of added sugars is.
The nutrimental content will be reported in portions of 100g or 100 ml, to facilitate comparison between products.
The ingredient list will stay and all sources of sugars in the products will cluster together so get a result.
Nutritional declarations: The proportion of size that indicates the nutritional declarations is regulated.
Regulates the use of guarantees ; If a product contains warning stamps, it cannot be supported by medical associations.
Persuasive elements; The norm stipulates that products that contain one or more warning stamps, as well as precautionary captions, may not contain any advertising strategy, such as the use of characters, cartoons, etc on the packaging.
Even if the products are small they will not be exempt from the warnings!
One of the strategies of the food and beverage industry to avoid regulations, such as food and beverage drinks in schools, has been to produce "mini" packages, also known as "mini scrap".
With the modifications to the labeling, products of small sizes will used black octagons, with the number indicating the number of stamps.
