ABSTRACT

Dear editor: Currently, Mexico’s labeling regulation, the Official Mexican Norm 051 (NOM-051), is under modification to migrate to a warning labeling system. Also, there are efforts to strengthen specifications in which inconsistencies have been detected; one of them is the use of health or nutritional endorsements.
Under article 32 of the Federal Consumer Protection Law, the information related to products that are disseminated in any media must be truthful, verifiable, explicit, and the use of images and misleading brands that induce confusion in the consumer are forbidden.
