What We Deliver
Six Pillars of Peru Food & Dietary Supplements Intelligence
Our legal representation service is built on six interconnected pillars that cover every regulatory, commercial, and operational dimension a Food & Dietary Supplements company needs to succeed in Peru.
01
Regulatory Representation
Taevas Global acts as your official local legal representative before DIGESA and DIGEMID, fulfilling the mandatory requirement that foreign manufacturers appoint a domiciled representative in Peru. We sign and submit all documentation on your behalf and maintain ongoing correspondence with the authority. This eliminates the need for you to establish a local entity before your products are approved.

Direct liaison with DIGESA for food and supplement notifications
Official signatory on all regulatory submissions and renewals
How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-step engagement process takes you from initial scoping through to active regulatory representation and market presence in Peru, with clear milestones and transparent communication at every stage.
Step 1 · Day 1-2
Intake and Regulatory Scoping
We begin with a structured intake call to understand your product portfolio, target categories, and commercial timeline. Our regulatory team reviews your formulations, labels, and existing documentation against current DIGESA and DIGEMID requirements. You receive a written scope memo outlining registration pathways, estimated timelines, and any immediate compliance gaps.
Taevas Approach
The intake process captures product category classification under Peruvian food law, ingredient lists for permissibility screening, existing international registrations that may support the Peru dossier, and your preferred commercial launch date. This scoping memo becomes the foundation for your Peru regulatory strategy and is shared with your internal team for alignment before any filings are initiated.

Growing Middle-Class Demand
Peru's expanding urban middle class is driving strong demand for functional foods, vitamins, and dietary supplements, particularly in Lima, Arequipa, and Trujillo. Health and wellness awareness accelerated significantly following the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumers actively seeking immunity-supporting and energy products. This trend has attracted a wave of international brands seeking local distribution and regulatory approval.
Dual Regulatory Pathway
Peru's regulatory framework creates a dual pathway for market entry: food products and food supplements are regulated by DIGESA under MINSA, while products classified as natural health products or medicinal supplements may fall under DIGEMID's jurisdiction. Correctly classifying your product at the outset is critical to selecting the right registration pathway and avoiding costly reclassification delays. Taevas Global's regulatory team performs this classification analysis as part of the initial scoping.
Mandatory Warning Octagon Labels
Since 2019, Peru has enforced one of Latin America's most stringent food labeling regimes under Law 30021, requiring black octagonal warning labels on products high in sugar, sodium, saturated fat, or trans fat. Dietary supplement manufacturers must also ensure their labels comply with permitted health claims and do not make unauthorized therapeutic claims. Non-compliant products face removal from shelves and significant INDECOPI fines.
Import-Driven Supply Chain
A significant share of dietary supplements sold in Peru is imported, with the United States, Chile, and Colombia being the primary source markets. Foreign manufacturers must appoint a local legal representative and obtain DIGESA sanitary notification before their products can legally enter Peruvian commerce. The combination of growing import volumes and tightening enforcement means regulatory compliance is no longer optional for sustained market access.
