This report reiterates Mexico’s guidelines for front-of-the-pack labeling on prepackaged, processed foods, and non-alcoholic beverages. The guidelines were issued by the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risk on April 15, 2014. As of April 2019, these guidelines have not changed. The Mexican Senate introduced a new bill to transition to stop signs on labels that inform consumers of “unhealthy” products similar to the system in Chile. However, on May 8th, the Mexican Supreme Court rejected the bill on modifying the labeling for foods and non-alcoholic beverages, considering that the current labeling guidelines do not violate health and feeding rights of Mexican consumers.
