Chile jurisdiction report: When food labelling and trademarks collide

A new regulation came into force in Chile on June 27, 2016, imposing the obligation to include at the front of the product’s labelling the message “High in X” indicating which foods exceed the established limits of salt, sugar, energy (calories) and saturated fats, through a black octagon with white lettering, as shown. One warning sign must be used for each of the nutrients in excess.
