The Decree published in the Federation Bulletin (DOF: 03/24/2023) adding an article 216 Bis to the General Health Law, which bans trans fats in Mexico, came into force as of Wednesday, September 20.

The Decree has two objectives: that trans fats are not added to products and that products with more than 2% of trans fatty acids in their total content are not distributed.
