The project provides evidence for mandatory front-of-package labelling (FOPL) systems in Brazil and Argentina and enables policy discussions in the rest of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) countries. The regulatory process of food labelling in Brazil and Argentina depends on harmonization as part of MERCOSUR trade agreements, which is considered an obstacle for in-country improvements. Latin America is leading in best practices for the nutrition labelling regulatory process. Front-of-package warning labelling is being adopted by several countries. Attempts at hindering, blocking and delaying the regulatory process by agents of the food industry are common.
