Local businesses will need to invest in labeling

Marythelma Rodríguez García, teacher and researcher at the Chiapas Campus Banking and Commercial School (EBC), explained that Chiapas companies will have to invest in labeling so as not to break the law; Which according to research will cost 10 to 50 cents per item.

Nowadays, local companies with the sale of Chiapas products that will incur in the use of this labeling are largely unaware of the norm; since there are still doubts about how to interpret the information, do the calculations, how to design the label to include the icons, the space that each one should occupy.

The modifications of NOM-051 that speak about the new labeling were presented on March 27, 2020; The standard has three phases planned to be fully implemented until October 2025, in order that companies can comply with the labeling requirements.

In my opinion, most companies are concerned with covering the necessary requirements on a label, that is, name, expiration, net content, ingredients, etc., but few products are shown with complete information to the consumer. represents a benefit for the informed consumer, over time it will be reflected if it brings consequences in the sales of their products but they still must comply with this NOM since they are the most interested in being able to sell their products since they were the most affected by the pandemics and They must meet all the requirements so they do not have problems with their products.
