- Checks by INAL via SiFeGA and the Chaco Bromatology Directorate confirmed the absence of RNE and RNPA and determined the RENAPA number on the label does not exist.
- The case was opened after a query from the Cámara Argentina de Fraccionadores de Miel, triggering Incidente Federal Nº 4740 and a determination that the product is illegal.
- ANMAT cited infringements of Law Nº 18.284, Decree Nº 2126/71 and the Código Alimentario Argentino, noting it cannot guarantee the product’s quality, safety or production conditions.
- The measure covers all lots, formats and expiration dates; provincial and local authorities were notified, a market withdrawal was recommended and the disposition was signed by ANMAT administrator Nélida Agustina Bisio.
