Ecuador is seeking to update its national standard for follow-up formula for infants and young children. The Ecuadorean Institute of Standardisation (INEN) launched a public consultation on a proposal to adopt the latest iteration of the Codex Alimentarius Standard CXS 156-1987, which was updated in 2023.
The proposed standard, NTE INEN-CODEX CXS 156, is an identical adoption of the international codex standard.
If approved, the new standard would replace the current NTE INEN 2516:2010.
