**Introduction:** This report summarizes an announcement from the
Secretariat of Health published in Mexico's "*Diario Oficial*" (Federal
Register) on July 17, 2006.

**Disclaimer:** This summary is based on a *cursory* review of the
subject announcement and therefore should not, under any circumstances,
be viewed as a definitive reading of the regulation in question, or of
its implications for U.S. agricultural export trade interests. In the
event of a discrepancy or discrepancies between this summary and the
complete regulation or announcement as published in Spanish, the latter
shall prevail.

**Title:** Agreement that establishes the permitted substances to be
used as additives in food, beverages and food supplements.

**Important Dates**

**1. Publication Date:** July 17, 2006

**2. Effective Date:** July 18, 2006

**FAS/Mexico's Executive Summary:** As a protective measure to guarantee
the health of the Mexican population through the controlled use of
additives in the preparation of food intended for human consumption and
to cope with the constant development at the Food Industry, the
Secretariat of Health (SSA) published the above-mentioned Agreement.

It is important to note that the listed additives must comply with the
established specifications in the provisions included in the Appendix
Chapter VIII of the "Regulations for the Sanitary Control of Goods and
Services", which can be found on the SSA's website at
[www.ssa.gob.mx](http://www.ssa.gob.mx/) .

The authorized additives for the preparation of food, beverages and food
supplements are listed in two tables: Table 1 lists additives by its
International Numbering System (INS) nomenclature and common name, while
Table 2 lists colorants by its INS nomenclature, common name and Color
Index (C.I.).

**Table 1.** Acidifiers, acidity regulators, anticaking and antifoaming
agents, antioxidants, bulking agents, emulsifiers, firming agents,
flavor enhancers, flour treatment and foaming agents, gelling and
glazing agents, humectants, preservatives, propellants, raising agents,
stabilizers, sweeteners, thickeners.
