Abstract: Los Etiquetados Frontales son un resumen de la información nutricional que se encuentra en
las tablas nutricionales de los alimentos procesados. Actualmente, los Estados, siguiendo con las
recomendaciones establecidas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), los han
implementado como una estrategia para la reducción de los índices de obesidad en la población.
La obesidad está relacionada con el incremento de enfermedades crónicas en las personas que
afectan el bienestar y que se convierten en un problema de salud pública. No obstante, los modelos
de Etiquetado Frontal han sido implementados de forma individual por parte de cada país, lo que
genera que al interior de la región coexistan diferentes modelos de etiquetado y, por lo tanto, los
fabricantes de los alimentos procesados que comercializan sus productos de forma regional deben
ajustar sus empaques de manera individualizada para cada país buscando cumplir con la normativa
aplicable. Lo anterior, genera costos adicionales para los fabricantes dentro de sus procesos
productivos, los cuales terminan trasladándose hacia los consumidores afectando el precio final
del producto en el mercado; por lo anterior, con la implementación de un modelo regional de
Etiquetado Frontal, los países miembros de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN) podrán unir
esfuerzos para desarrollar estrategias que permitan informar y educar a los consumidores y
facilitarle a la industria la comercialización de los productos dentro de la región.
Front-of-pack nutrition labeling summarizes the nutritional information found in the nutritional facts in foods. Currently, the States, following the recommendations established by the World Health Organization (WHO), have implemented them to reduce obesity rates in the population. Obesity is related to the increase of chronic diseases for people that get affected their wellbeing and become a public health issue. Nevertheless, the Front-of-pack nutrition labeling models have been implemented individually by each country, which means that different labeling models coexist within the region and, therefore, manufacturers of processed foods that commercialize their products regionally must adjust their packaging individually for each country in order to comply with the applicable regulations. Making those adjustments generates additional costs for manufacturers in their production processes, which end up being transferred the final price of the product in the market to consumers; therefore, with the implementation of a regional model for Front-of-pack nutrition labeling, the Andean Community (CAN) member countries will be able to join efforts to develop strategies that will allow educate and provide accurate information to consumers. That way, it would be easier for the industry to commercialize those products within the region.
