The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) opened for public consultation a draft for the new Regulation of Law N° 8,918 of July 14, 1994 (Beverage Law) which provides for the standardization, classification, registration, inspection, production and inspection of beverages.

Importantly, this regulation includes both, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

The proposal focuses on the requirements of identity and quality, which involve the composition and labeling of beverages; technological requirements, which involve the process controls of the establishments to offer products with quality and safety; and administrative procedures, which involve the supervision and registrations performed by the MAPA.

Among the main changes, the new regulation would create and review regulatory pieces for the promotion of product innovations in the beverage area, the forecast of the modernization of the control and registration systems, with the application of risk analysis, harmonization of administrative procedures and review of inspection procedures for the incorporation of audit and self-control concepts. 

Comments on the proposal will be received until 12 July and must be treated through the Normative Acts Monitoring System (SISMAN), of the Secretariat of Agricultural Defense. It is important to stress that interested companies be registered at the Access Request System (SOLICITA).
