Overview
- Disposición 510/2026, published in the Boletín Oficial on February 19, prohibits the product’s elaboration, fractioning and sale across Argentina, including online marketplaces.
- The item is identified as “Aceite de oliva virgen extra, Clásico, marca Nucete,” 500 ml, lot L. C5-243003, FAB. JUN-2025, VAL. JUN-2026, labeled as made by “San Juan de los Olivos” using Agro Aceitunera S.A. registrations.
- ANMAT deemed the oil apocryphal for misusing third-party sanitary registrations, lacking traceability and having unknown production conditions, in violation of Argentine food law.
- Provincial and Buenos Aires City health authorities were notified to remove units from sale, and the incident was logged in SIVA within SIFeGA for coordinated market surveillance.
- Officials have not disclosed how many units are in circulation, and the action follows recent bans of other apocryphal olive oils as part of heightened enforcement.
