Food labeling in Argentina. Decoding impacts on the Argentine Food Code
Journal Title: Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo - Year 2024, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
This work aims to analyze the characteristics of the legislative codification technique in Argentina, and whether, since the enactment of the Food Code to the present, this technique has been affected by a decoding normative evolution, considering the food labeling regime a particular study case. As a result, three lines of legislative alteration or modification distorting the mentioned technique re identified. This generates inconsistencies and ambiguities in the legislation, and consequent negative effects on the application, compliance and understanding of food regulations in the industry.

Effects of postharvest treatments based on calcium and silicon in hydro-cooling on the basic quality attributes of ʹBingʹ sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) during storage
Ca2+ and Si2+ treatments confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in many fruits. In sweet cherries, Ca2+ improves shelf life extension during storage, but only CaCl2 is used. On the other hand, there is scarce i...
