Etiquetado frontal: fuerte posicionamiento de los cardiólogos contra la eliminación de los octógonos de alimentos envasados

Cardiólogos en Argentina are strongly opposing the potential repeal of the Healthy Eating Promotion Law, which mandates front-of-package labeling (often called "octógonos") to help consumers make healthier choices. They argue that this regulation is essential for reducing diet-related health issues, particularly cardiovascular diseases. The medical community fears that removing this labeling could lead to increased consumption of unhealthy foods, ultimately raising the nation's healthcare burden and compromising public health efforts.
