Scope of this guide
Includes an application note linked to official sources, not a completed regulatory review for every product category.
PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE
Brazil: product dossier priorities
For Brazil, assess Portuguese text, the nutrition table and front-of-pack information using ANVISA sources. Keep a Portuguese-market label separate and record the evidence supporting serving, ingredient and claim information in the Brazilian review.
Brazil: review the panel and front declaration together
ANVISA’s nutrition-labelling resources point to RDC 429/2020 and IN 75/2020. The explained fields include total and added sugars, values per 100 g or 100 ml and servings per package. Front-of-pack disclosure depends on added sugar, saturated fat and sodium thresholds assessed within the product’s scope. Merely translating another country’s nutrition panel into Portuguese is therefore not an adequate review. Connect the panel format, serving calculation, front declaration and any exemption to the same product specification.
How is the label review dossier prepared?
Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.
Document preparation and working method
Label review: evidence and findings table
| Review scope | Evidence reviewed | Report output |
|---|---|---|
| Product name and class | Recipe, product form, intended use | Correct sources and review scope |
| Ingredients and allergens | Sub-ingredients, supplier and cross-contact records | Comparison of label text and evidence |
| Nutrition and claims | Analysis or calculation, serving, front wording | Data basis and claim evidence |
| Language and layout | Every face, local wording and supplementary label | Missing-information and readability findings |
| Import and traceability | Importer, lot, dates and shipment version | Document needs and local confirmation questions |
Sources and research method
Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
