The objective of this work was to evaluate the labeling of dairy products marketed in the municipality of Batalha, Alagoas, checking their compliance with the current legislation. To this end, a "check-list" was prepared with 60 items based on RDC nº 259 and RDC nº 360 by Anvisa. 16 labels of different brands were analyzed, taking into account what is established in the standards.
