FOOD AND DRUG LAW
The regulatory law in the health area involves all the legislation that has ties with areas of medicine, biological products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, medical devices, cosmetics, food and agrochemicals, whose goal is to ensure the regulation, control and protection of the population health. For this reason, introducing new products into the market requires a deep knowledge of Brazilian legislation and regulations.
Our multidisciplinary team acts before regulatory and ruling bodies in order to enable the marketing of products and services, and the authorization of operations, including import licenses, project approvals and product registration.
In Brazil, the health control of food is a shared responsibility between various bodies and entities of the public administration, such as INMETRO, the National Agency of Health Surveillance – ANVISA and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply – MAPA.
