Latin American food safety and sanitary inspections
Overview
Sanitary and law enforcement authorities in Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, and Ecuador have implemented various measures to ensure food safety and animal welfare.
In Argentina and Mexico, efforts focused on preventative measures and training. In Entre Ríos, Argentina, SENASA partnered with public and private sectors to unify inspection criteria to prevent avian pathologies. Meanwhile, Mexico’s COESPRIS provided training to slaughterhouse personnel regarding livestock legality, animal welfare, and hygiene.
Subsequent enforcement actions in Paraguay, Ecuador, and Argentina involved direct seizures and closures. In Paraguay, authorities seized a vehicle and 26 horses found in poor physical condition with inconsistent identification. In Ecuador, sanitary inspections led to the closure of a milk collection center in Chimborazo. In Argentina, police seized meat in Salta due to hygiene and conservation irregularities.
