Colombia: Colombia Amends Sodium Regulation to Allow for Self-Declarations of Conformity
On December 6, 2023, the Ministry of Health of Colombia issued Resolution 2056, by which it amended Colombian Resolution 2013 of 2020 (known as the “sodium rule”). This amendment allows for U.S. exporters to utilize self-declarations to certify compliance with maximum sodium levels in processed products. The amendment came after a short period where third-party certifications issued by accredited bodies became mandatory to certify compliance of processed products with the sodium regulation. Resolution 2056 also excludes food service and inputs used as raw materials for food industry from Resolution 2013 of 2020.
