Mexico - Sanitary provisions and specifications Eggs and egg products

Secretaría de Salud (Ministry of Health) has issued draft Mexican Official Standard PROY-NOM-159-SSA1-2015: Goods and services pertains to Sanitary provisions and specifications for Eggs and egg products.

The notified draft Mexican Official Standard is based on the fact that most food-borne diseases are infectious. The incidence of these diseases continues to be one of the most widespread health problems in the world today. In the case of eggs and egg products, which are essential food items for the Mexican population, the main health risk is related to the presence of Salmonella spp.. It is therefore important to establish limits and control measures for this micro-organism.

Consequently, there is an urgent need to have up-to-date regulations that are increasingly effective in reducing the food safety issues caused by these products, and to establish sanitary provisions for the staff and establishments that process such products. Another element is the identification of critical points which must be controlled during processing and which allow for the transmission of diseases by such products to be minimized or prevented. A Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system must also be implemented for the processing of egg products, with the aim of providing safe products to Mexican consumers.

Proposed date of adoption: The notified draft Mexican Official Standard will be adopted upon its publication in the Official Journal as a final Mexican Official Standard.

Proposed date of entry into force: The notified draft Mexican Official Standard will enter into force 60 calendar days after its publication in the Official Journal, with the exception of points 6.1.22 and 10 of this Standard, which will enter into force 180 calendar days after its publication.

Final date for comments: 60 days after its notification 

If the Proposal/Notification/Regulation will affect your International Business please send us your representation with facts and figures, so that these can be taken up suitably.
