Colombia: Colombia Notifies Draft Measure to Restrict Processed Foods that Exceed Sodium Targets

On July 26, 2019, Colombia notified a proposed technical regulation that defines the maximum sodium content for a list of 67 processed foods to the WTO TBT Committee as G/TBT/N/COL/238. This measure ultimately seeks to reduce hypertension and related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) associated to excess salt intake. The proposed measure establishes a mandatory one and three-year maximum sodium content targets for each of the 67 food categories.
