Argentina Issues Nationwide Ban on 'Tierra de Oliva' Olive Oil Over Fake Registrations

Regulators determined the label used nonexistent sanitary registrations, making safety or traceability impossible.

Overview

  • ANMAT formalized the measure through Disposición 192/2026, published in the Official Gazette and signed by agency head Luis Eduardo Fontana.
  • The order halts manufacture, packaging, sale, and advertising across Argentina, including online marketplaces.
  • The prohibition extends to any food that displays RNE 12310897 or RNPA 12301246, regardless of brand or product name.
  • The investigation began with a consumer query to INAL and was confirmed through the SIFeGA system after authorities verified the registrations did not exist.
  • Prior detections prompted local actions in Santa Fe (ASSAL alert in Rufino) and Marcos Juárez, Córdoba, and ANMAT distributed label images to help identify the product, which cited Establecimiento Los Juárez in Chamical, La Rioja.
