Two specialties, one strategy

Regulatory and factory under the same lead — because accessing international markets demands both.

JMarona connects regulatory strategy to industrial reality. We identify the requirements of the destination market and, when necessary, also lead the diagnostic and adequacy of processes and plant to meet them.

Frequently asked

Entering Brazil, answered

Do I need ANVISA or MAPA registration to sell food in Brazil?+

Most food and beverage categories require registration or notification with ANVISA (health surveillance agency) or MAPA (ministry of agriculture) before entering the Brazilian market. The pathway depends on your product category — we assess it and conduct the entire process locally, in Portuguese.

What are Brazil's food labeling requirements?+

Brazilian labels must be in Portuguese and follow local rules for ingredient lists, nutrition tables and front-of-pack warnings — which differ substantially from EU and US formats. A compliant label is built from the formulation up, not translated.

Can my product formulation be sold in Brazil as it is?+

Not necessarily. Brazil maintains its own positive lists of additives and usage limits. An ingredient approved in the EU may be restricted here. A regulatory viability study answers this question before you invest in shipping and registration.

How long does it take to enter the Brazilian market?+

It varies by category and registration pathway — from a few weeks for exempt categories to several months for registered products. A viability study gives you a realistic timeline for your specific product.

Do you work in English?+

Yes. International clients are served in English end to end, while all filings and communication with Brazilian authorities are handled in Portuguese by our team.
