Since their introduction in 2020, octagonal labels in Mexico have been one of the most visible tools for promoting food transparency. These labels, which warn about excess calories, sugars, saturated fats, and sodium, have had a significant impact on how consumers perceive products. The black octagons on packaging, with words like "Excess Calories," "Excess Sugars," or "Excess Sodium," are a clear reminder of ingredients that should be consumed in moderation.
The goal of this regulation is to provide direct and simple information so consumers can make informed decisions about their diet. As consumers become more aware of the risks associated with poor nutrition, brands must adapt to this environment of transparency and effectively communicate how their products meet these standards.
