Mexico: Mexico Enacts the General Law on Appropriate and Sustainable Food

On April 17, 2024, the Government of Mexico published a law in the Official Gazette to establish mandatory warning labeling for products containing genetically engineered ingredients and to enshrine socioeconomic considerations into national food policy. The law also establishes state sponsored granaries and the use of the precautionary principle. The formulation of the law was led by a broad coalition of social movements, senators, and activists within the Government of Mexico.
