On August 3, 2021, the Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology issued INMETRO Regulation No. 327, which stipulates the standard for the identification of net weight of prepackaged meat products, which will take effect on December 1, 2021. The main contents of the regulations are:

1. The net weight of pre-packaged meat products must be mandatory;

2. For products that cannot standardize the net weight of meat products due to their nature, they must be marked with a sticker and label when they are sold;

3. In order to determine the net content, natural or artificial casings, wax wrapping casings, or any other types of casings inherent in the preparation process or technology should be regarded as a component of meat products.
