PLS 350/2016
Labels and package inserts of cosmetics, perfumes, toiletries and medicines should inform in their formulas there are substances that can cause allergy. The obligation is established in the project to be analyzed in the Committee on Environment, Consumer Protection and Inspection and Control (CMA). The PLS 350/2016 was introduced by Senator Wellington Fagundes (PR-MT).
The senator recalled that the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) published last year a resolution (RDC 26/2015) with the requirements for mandatory labeling of main foods that cause food allergies.
For Wellington Fagundes, to take this step Anvisa provided greater security to people with allergies.
Fagundes reinforces that there are other products that can also cause allergy when, for example, inhaled or come in contact with skin. He cited the case of the mother of a baby three months allergic to the protein in cow's milk, which faces daily difficulties and risks in the fight to protect the health of his daughter.
- It is striking that while it is indeed important, regulate only the labels of foods and beverages is limited efficacy measure - he said.
After examination of the CMA, the project will proceed to deliberation by the Committee on Social Affairs (CAS) where you will receive terminative decision. If approved at the last commission and be not able to vote in plenary, the proposal will go straight to the House of Representatives.
