Overview

  • Decree 538/2025 officially dissolves the Comisión Nacional de Alimentos and assigns its advisory and regulatory roles to ANMAT and SENASA.
  • The Ministry of Health, through ANMAT, and the Ministry of Economy, via the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, now handle updates to the Código Alimentario Argentino.
  • ANMAT manages the unified National Food Control System database, which will be fed and refreshed daily by participating agencies.
  • Authorities can request expert input under a new advisory mechanism that mandates report delivery within 15 business days.
  • The reform removes outdated elements such as roadside sanitary inspection booths to eliminate redundancies and speed up decision-making.
