The Commission for Consumer Defense and Regulatory Bodies of Public Services of the Congress (CODECO in Spanish) recently approved the opinion that seeks to amend Law 30021, Law for the Promotion of Healthy Eating for Children and Adolescents, in order to regulate the use of images of fruits in advertising and labeling so that the images are not displayed in products called natural if they are not. The legal proposal is based on Bills 8455/2023-CR, 8543/2024-CR and 8633/2024-CR (Law that protects the health of consumers of beverages promoted with the image of a fruit and sanctions misleading advertising).
