The Draft Normative Instruction  708, 13 September  2019, regarding technical requirements for 
statement of nutrition labelling for packaged food – previously notified through 
G/TBT/N/BRA/821/Add.2 – deviates from the General Standard for the Labelling of Pr epackaged 
Foods, produced by Codex Alimentarius Commission . However, such regulation is in accordance with 
recommendations and scientific evidence supported by reports of WHO and FAO. The Impact 
Assessment Report on Nutrition Labelling, available in Portug uese below, describes the scientific 
evidence which the proposed regulations relies on. This regulation will be also notified to the 
SPS committee.
