Brazil and Peru recently agreed to eliminate the use of indelible octagons in food and beverages for children that enter our market, according to information collected by the EFE news agency.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) was the entity in charge of lifting this so-called “barrier” so that the presence of Brazilian products with octagons on stickers “according to international standards” is authorized, after a series of negotiations with its counterpart from the South American giant.
And it is that Lula da Silva’s government claimed that the original Peruvian regulations — that is, the Healthy Food Law — imply “higher costs” for its exporterswhich move US$34 million annually, since they had to adapt their wrappers exclusively for the Peruvian market.
The success of these negotiations made it possible to avoid a barrier to infant food products made on Brazilian soil, they added.
