Anvisa has determined how to have this data. The details about allergens should be displayed just below the list of ingredients. In addition, the words must be in uppercase, in bold and with different color of the label. The letter cannot be smaller than the list of ingredients.
The manufacturers had a year to adjust the packaging to the new rules. The products manufactured by the end of the period of adjustment, this Saturday (2), may be marketed until the end of the period of validity.
