The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply postponed the deadline for compliance with the new identity and quality standards for brewery products, established in 2019. Due to pandemic-related disruptions, the deadline was reset to December 11, 2021.
Normative Instruction n. 63/2020 amended Normative Instruction n. 65/2019 – which established new identity and quality standards for brewery products, including authorized ingredients, rules of product composition and labeling requirements – in order to postpone the deadline for compliance.
As brewing companies had one year to comply to the new measures, the deadline was scheduled to December 11, 2020. However, due to pandemic-related drop in demand and other disruptions, the brewery sector requested and was granted a postponement to that deadline, which is now scheduled to December 11, 2021.
