Guatemala: Standaarden en etikettering
From Handelswijzer Midden-Amerika van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Ambassade te Costa Rica
Guatemala has labeling standards for food products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, footwear and distilled alcoholic beverages. Guatemalan law requires that food products sold in the domestic market be tested, registered and labeled in Spanish. While labeling standards for domestic food products are very strict, importers negotiated with COGUANOR (the national standards commission) and reached an agreement for the use of stick-on labels. Products sold in bulk are exempt from the labeling 4/18/2008 requirements unless they are to be sold at the retail level. Enforcement of product registration and labeling requirements has been inconsistent but is improving.
