Argentina: School meal legal rulings and pension reform

Overview

The legal battle over the Entre Ríos school feeding program has intensified. A collective injunction, supported by the AGMER union, has gained momentum, questioning the distribution of ultra-processed foods under the government’s new centralized model. National Deputy Blanca Osuna has joined the challenge, introducing a resolution to review the supply system and requesting public information regarding nutritional parameters and the company Teknofood SA. A preliminary injunction has suspended the new scheme, requiring schools to continue managing food purchases directly while the provincial government appeals to the Superior Court of Justice. Investigations into the misappropriation of school meal funds remain active in Concordia and Villaguay, targeting suspected diversions of resources intended for programs like ‘Copa de Leche’.

In response to nutritional concerns, an interinstitutional group—including the Ministry of Health, the General Council of Education, and the National University of Entre Ríos—is developing new standards for school breakfasts. These efforts aim to reduce sugars and flavorings while increasing fiber, proteins, and fresh foods. To support this, the province is conducting a monitoring program in approximately 170 schools via the Center for Studies on Food Policy and Economics (Cepea) and plans to create a dedicated nutrition and food area through a public competition.

As the government advances a new feeding system for the upcoming academic cycle, it is working to combine industrial products with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The College of Nutritionists of Entre Ríos (Conuer) has provided technical feedback on provider proposals. Additionally, authorities announced the creation of a permanent advisory council to provide ongoing technical consultation for menu development, including planning for the 2027 cycle.

Regarding pension reform, the implementation of Law No. 11.302 is progressing. Governor Rogelio Frigerio signed Decree 2667/26, which regulates a 3% extraordinary personal contribution for a specific sector of the provincial public administration.
