What We Deliver

Six Pillars of Peru Food & Dietary Supplements Intelligence

Our six interconnected pillars give food and dietary supplement companies a complete, actionable view of Peru's regulatory, commercial, and operational landscape for successful product registration.

01

Regulatory Pathway Mapping

We identify the precise registration pathway for each product category under DIGESA and, where applicable, DIGEMID in Peru. Our team clarifies whether your product is classified as a food, dietary supplement, or natural health product under Peruvian law, preventing costly misclassification. This clarity reduces rework and accelerates time to first approval.

Identification of fast-track or simplified procedures where eligible
How It Works

From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence

Our four-stage engagement takes your product from initial scoping through full dossier submission and approval support, giving your leadership team clear milestones and decision points throughout.

Step 1 · Day 1-3

Scoping and Product Classification

We begin with a structured intake session to understand your product portfolio, formulations, intended claims, and target market segments in Peru. Our regulatory specialists classify each product under Peruvian law and confirm the applicable DIGESA registration track. This step prevents downstream rework caused by incorrect classification.

Taevas Approach

During scoping we review existing global dossiers, certificates of free sale, and any prior regulatory submissions to identify reusable documentation. We deliver a written Product Classification Report that confirms the regulatory pathway, estimated timeline, and fee schedule for each SKU. This report serves as the foundation for the full project plan.

Food & Supplement Registrations in DIGESA

Growing Middle-Class Health Awareness

Peru's expanding urban middle class is driving sustained demand for dietary supplements, functional foods, and fortified products. Lima accounts for roughly 60 percent of supplement sales, but secondary cities like Arequipa, Trujillo, and Cusco are showing accelerating growth. International brands that achieve timely DIGESA registration are well-positioned to capture this rising consumer segment.

Strict Octagonal Warning Enforcement

Peru's Law 30021 and its implementing regulations mandate octagonal warning labels on foods and supplements that exceed thresholds for sodium, sugar, saturated fat, and trans fat. DIGESA has intensified enforcement since 2021, and non-compliant products face market withdrawal and fines. Foreign manufacturers must redesign packaging before registration to avoid rejection at the dossier stage.

Natural and Andean Ingredient Opportunity

Peru is a global origin market for superfoods including maca, camu camu, sacha inchi, and lucuma, which are increasingly incorporated into domestic supplement formulations. Regulatory pathways for products containing these native ingredients are well-established under DIGESA, providing a competitive advantage for brands that source or feature Andean ingredients. This trend also supports premium positioning in export markets.

E-Commerce and Pharmacy Channel Expansion

Online retail platforms such as Rappi, Mercado Libre, and pharmacy chain e-commerce sites have significantly expanded supplement distribution in Peru since 2020. DIGESA registration is a prerequisite for legal online sale, and platforms increasingly require proof of Registro Sanitario before listing products. Brands that complete registration quickly gain first-mover advantage in these fast-growing digital channels.
