Mexico Enacts the General Law on Appropriate and Sustainable Food

April 26, 2024

On April 17, 2024, the Government of Mexico published a law in the Official Gazette to establish
mandatory warning labeling for products containing genetically engineered ingredients and to enshrine
socioeconomic considerations into national food policy. The law also establishes state sponsored
granaries and the use of the precautionary principle. The formulation of the law was led by a broad
coalition of social movements, senators, and activists within the Government of Mexico.

Único Sabor Americano

Único Sabor Americano was created to make it easier for people in Mexico to recognize and enjoy the wide variety of high-quality, healthy, and delicious foods and beverages imported from the United States. While many already know that U.S. products are trusted worldwide for their quality, it’s not always obvious which items on store shelves actually come from the U.S. That’s where the brand comes in.

More than just a label, Único Sabor Americano celebrates the connection between Mexico and the United States. By highlighting cultural elements that both countries share, the brand helps people see U.S. foods as part of their daily lives. The goal is to show that American products can seamlessly complement local traditions and flavors, offering variety, nutrition, and inspiration in everyday meals. In doing so, Único Sabor Americano promotes not only great products, but also the strong bond between our two nations.
