Agalep asks Peru’s Constitutional Court to preserve evaporated-milk rules
Agalep has petitioned Peru’s Constitutional Court to maintain the existing regulation governing the name “evaporated milk”. Under the rule described by the association, that designation is reserved for products manufactured with fresh milk.
The request concerns the legal definition applied to evaporated milk and the raw material used in products marketed under that name. Agalep’s position is that the current regulation should remain in force.
The association presented its submission to the Constitutional Court. The information provided does not specify when the petition was filed, which provision is being challenged, or whether the court has set a date for considering the case.
Agalep also reported that Peru’s domestic milk production grew by 4.5% annually during each of the past two years. The association linked that figure to its description of the national production sector.
The reported growth rate covers two consecutive years rather than a single annual change. No absolute production volume, monetary value, regional breakdown or figures for imports and exports were provided.
The supplied information does not include a response from the Constitutional Court, other producers, dairy processors or public authorities. It also does not state whether the regulation has been suspended, amended or otherwise changed while the court considers Agalep’s request.
