The Ministry of Health Secretariat of Health Quality and Secretariat of Bioeconomy has published Joint Resolution 12/2024, which updates the specifications of identity and purity of several food additives described in Article 1398 of the Argentine Food Code.
It was agreed not to include in the detailed specifications the functions assigned to each additive, since these are described in Resolution GMC No. 11/06, MERCOSUR Technical Regulation on “Harmonized General List of Food Additives and their functional classes”, which is currently under revision within MERCOSUR.
