What is the difference between a product requiring registration and one that is exempt from registration with MAPA?

The determination of the need for registration or exemption for a product is detailed in MAPA regulations. Companies must be aware of the rules applicable to their sector to ensure compliance. Consulting regulations or seeking assistance from specialized professionals is essential to ensure legal compliance and regularization of products. For example:

Low Risk: Products considered low risk to public health and food safety may be exempt from registration.

Examples: Some animal products such as eggs, honey, fresh milk, among others, may be exempt from registration depending on specific conditions established by MAPA regulations.
