SG 106/25
In June 2025, Brazil’s Health Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, Anvisa) issued Resolution of the Collegiate Board of Directors – RDC No. 979 of June 6, 2025 (RDC No. 979/2025) to amend the nation’s law on food contact cellulosic materials and articles (RDC No. 88/2016).
This amendment transposed Mercosur/GMC/Res. No 02/25 (SafeGuardS 82/25) into Brazil’s domestic law by revising the language regarding the requirement for DIPN to: ‘The content of DIPN in the finished product produced from recycled fibers must be as low as technically feasible’ (Part II, Point 1.2(f) to RDC No 88/2016).
RDC No. 979/2025 became effective on June 10, 2025 – the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the Union (Diário Oficial da União).
