On 7 July, the Secretariat for Quality in Health and Secretariat for Food, Bioeconomy and Regional Development issued Resolution N° 1/2022 that the introduces the beverage called "KOMBUCHA" to the Argentinean Food Code.

In summary, this provides for:

- Permitted ingredients.

- The Simbiotic Colony Of Bateria and Yeast (SCOBY) and its corresponding microorganisms.

- Maximum alcohol level must be 05 % Vol (20°C).

- Specific labelling requirements (additional to the rules for labelling of packaged foods).

It is worth mentioning that this approval brings opportunities for KOMBUCHA (as a live beverage) to grow its market in Argentina, while the pasteurised product must be differentiated with the legend "PASTEURISED".
