Boycott of the General Law on Adequate and Sustainable Food (LGAAS) due to Corporate Interests

Government interests, linked to transnational food corporations such as Coca-Cola, have halted the publication and approval of the regulations for the LGAAS, which should have been published in October 2025. As a result, the Mexican government is in breach of its obligations and is preventing the exercise of human rights related to “the consumption of nutritious, sufficient, quality, safe, and culturally appropriate food; the strengthening of self-sufficiency, sovereignty, and food security; the foundations for social participation; and the creation of sustainable food environments and the promotion of breastfeeding” (Decree issuing the LGAAS, April 2024).
