ANVISA launched the first edition of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on nutrition labelling of pre-packaged foodstuffs. This is a non-regulatory document but helps companies in complying with the nutrition labelling rules and the new front-of-pack labelling (FOP) in Brazil. 

The FAQ document addresses 156 questions to clarify doubts on the nutrition labelling regulation process in Brazil; declaration of nutrients, FOP labelling, use of claims, the compliance schedule set out among others. 

It is worth remembering that Resolution RDC N° 429/2020 and its Normative Instruction N° 75/2020 were issued last year and introduced the front-of-pack labelling in Brazil when a product exceeds the nutrition profiles for added sugar, saturated fats and sodium, as well as changes on the nutrition labelling of food products regarding the legibility, content and form of information declaration in the nutrition information table and the conditions of use of nutrition claims.
