In 2018, Peru increased its sweetened beverage tax for drinks containing six or more grams of sugar per 100 mL, and in 2019, the country began requiring front-of-package warning labels on foods and beverages high in sugar, saturated fats, or sodium or containing <em>trans<\/em> fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In opposition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sugary_Drink_Tax_maps_2022_11.pdf\">taxes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GFRP-UNC_FOPL_maps_2025_3.pdf\">front-of-package warning label<\/a> policies now adopted throughout Latin America and the rest of the world, food and beverage industry representatives have argued that these regulations would cause substantial job loss and economic harm.
