ticides) or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), while maintaining or enhancing soil fertility and biodiversity. Resolution 374/2016 governs the National Service for Animal Health and Agri-Food Quality (SENASA), the authority overseeing organic production. SENASA reports highlight the United States and the European Union as primary export destinations for Argentine organic products. • Law 25.163 (1999): Designation and Presentation of Argentine Wines and Wine-Based Spirits Establishes categories such as Indication of Origin (IO), Geographical Indication (GI), and Controlled Designation of Origin (CDO). According to the National Institute of Viticulture, as of July 2023, Argentina recognized 110 Geographical Indications and 2 Controlled Designations of Origin, with GI and CDO wine sales increasing since 2019. • Law 25.380 (2000): Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin (amended by Law 25,966, Decree 556/2009) Protects agro-food products with distinct qualities tied to their geographical origin, allowing registration of GIs and DOs for products like Argentine Yerba Mate and Patagonian Lamb. Certification preserves cultural and regional identity, adds value, facilitates access to international markets, and enhances competitiveness. Argentina’s GI and DO laws align with international agreements like TRIPS. Unlike other South American countries, where intellectual property authorities oversee implementation, in Argentina, the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries is responsible. A 2005–2020 evaluation by Marcelo Champredonde and Elena Schiavone found that GI/DO impacts in Argentina were weak and often non-specific, though positive identity and heritage impacts were noted in cases like Chivito Criollo, Melón de Media Agua, and Colonia Caroya Salami, largely due to community involvement in product definition. • Law 27.642 (2022): Promotion of Healthy Eating Known as the Front-of-Package Labeling Law, it mandates warnings on processed food packaging about high sugar, sodium, and saturated fat content to promote healthier eating. This regulation requires companies to reformulate products to meet standards, improving the quality of offered foods. In 2024, ANMAT’s Disposition 11362 established the Nutritional Seals and Warnings Declaration System within 705 GASTRONOMIC LEGISLATION IN ARGENTINA
