Neste artigo
Ordinance No. 1,484 of December 15, 2025, published by Anvisa, officially approved the Regulatory Agenda for the 2026-2027 biennium. In practice, this document defines which regulatory topics will be priorities for the Agency over the next two years.
But what does this mean for regulated companies and professionals?
What is Anvisa’s Regulatory Agenda?
The Regulatory Agenda is a strategic planning document from Anvisa. It transparently organizes which rules will be created, reviewed or updated, allowing the productive sector to anticipate changes and prepare.
In other words, it is not a new rule with immediate requirements. It is a map of what lies ahead.
Which areas will be affected?
The 2026-2027 Agenda is broad and covers practically the entire scope of Anvisa’s work, including:
food and beverages, including labeling, contaminants, additives, packaging, plant-based foods and supplements
pesticides, including residue limits, toxicological classification and reassessments
cosmetics and sanitizing products
medicines and pharmaceutical ingredients
medical devices
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
healthcare services and food services
ports, airports and borders
These topics are organized by strategic axes, such as safe access to products, sanitary risk management, innovation and consumer empowerment.
When does it come into force?
The ordinance comes into force on January 1, 2026.
From then on, Anvisa may initiate public consultations, regulatory reviews and new regulations throughout 2026 and 2027.
Why should your company prepare in advance?
Companies that follow the Regulatory Agenda can:
plan adjustments in advance
avoid emergency costs and rework
participate in public consultations
adjust management systems, labeling and processes
reduce regulatory and sanitary risks
Companies that wait until a rule is formally issued often act under pressure. Those that prepare in advance gain competitiveness.
Conclusion
Ordinance No. 1,484/2025 clearly shows where Brazilian sanitary regulation is heading. This is not alarmism. It is strategic planning.
The best posture now is to stay informed, map impacts and prepare.
