**Profeco Study Reveals Mislabeling in Mexican Pork Cheese** Mexico City – A recent study by Mexico's consumer protection agency, Profeco, has revealed inaccuracies in the labeling of several pork cheese brands. The study, published in the May 2025 edition of the Revista del Consumidor, analyzed ten products and found that some brands misrepresented their nutritional content. For example, Parma Campestre declared 25% protein and 17% fat, but actually contained 16.6% and 24.8%, respectively. Similarly, Par pork cheese showed a discrepancy between the declared 20% fat and the actual 27.4% fat content. "This is a matter of consumer rights," stated a Profeco spokesperson. "Consumers have the right to accurate information to make informed decisions about their purchases." The study also highlighted that Mexico is a significant meat consumer, ranking 13th globally. The agency recommended that consumers carefully read labels and buy from established retailers to maintain the cold chain. The Profeco study serves as a reminder to consumers to check labels carefully and to choose products that comply with Mexican regulations. It also underscores the importance of accurate labeling in protecting consumer rights and promoting informed choices.
