6. Description of content:  This Draft Resolut ion contains provisions on the regularization 
of food and packaging under the competence of the National Health Surveillance System 
(SNVS) intended for supply in the national territory.  
This regulation will be also notified to the SPS Committee  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  In workshops held with health surveillance, the low effectiveness of current 
regulatory procedures for food regularization was identified, with the following 
consequences: l ack of access to information about regularized products; lack of clarity of 
regulation; difficulties with food categorization; lack of definition of how this risk is 
understood; insufficient technical information resulting in inadequate controls, especiall y 
for higher risk products; insufficient operational capacity of analytical laboratories; forms 
of regularization in insufficient quantity (registration or exemption from registration), 
considering the variability of existing foods and their different leve ls of risk; regulatory 
gaps, among others. Thus, given the whole scenario found in the analysis of the problem, 
among other measures, the need for regulatory changes to solve the main problem is 
pointed out.; Protection of human health or safety  G/TBT/N/BRA/1447
