Food & Beverage ERP for Mexico
Food and beverage businesses in Mexico operate under COFEPRIS regulation for food safety and the SAT electronic invoicing requirements that apply to every commercial transaction. COFEPRIS issues sanitary registrations for processed food products and conducts inspections of food manufacturing and handling facilities. NOM-251-SSA1-2009 establishes the hygiene practices for food processing, which serves as the basis for HACCP implementation in Mexican food businesses. The Ley General de Salud and its food-related regulations set the framework for food safety oversight.
Food & Beverage in Mexico
Food and beverage labelling in Mexico follows NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010, which was significantly reformed with front-of-package warning labels (sellos de advertencia) for products exceeding specified thresholds of calories, sugars, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium. Products with warning seals cannot use cartoon characters, celebrity endorsements, or marketing claims targeting children. This labelling reform has had significant market impact and requires reformulation tracking for product development. The IEPS tax applies to sugary beverages at 1 peso per liter and to high-calorie foods (caloric density above 275 kcal/100g) at 8%, adding a tax tracking obligation specific to certain food categories.
Mexico agricultural sector provides significant raw materials for food manufacturing, with supply chains that connect rural producers to processing facilities. The SENASICA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria) manages phytosanitary and zoosanitary requirements. Organic certification follows the Ley de Productos Organicos. IVA on basic food items is zero-rated, while processed foods and restaurant services are subject to 16% IVA.
Yukti provides Mexican food businesses with COFEPRIS sanitary registration management, NOM-251 hygiene compliance documentation, and facility inspection readiness tracking. The labelling module generates NOM-051 compliant labels with front-of-package warning seals calculated from nutritional profiles, and tracks which products trigger marketing restrictions due to excess nutrient warnings. CFDI invoicing handles the zero-rated IVA on basic foods, 16% on processed products, and IEPS calculations for sugary beverages and high-calorie foods. Recipe management calculates the caloric density and nutrient thresholds that determine NOM-051 warning seal requirements and IEPS tax applicability. SENASICA phytosanitary compliance supports agricultural supply chain documentation. Financial reporting follows NIF standards with the specific reporting required by COFEPRIS for licensed food businesses.
