Unlike the United States and some European countries, companies and products in Brazil are regulated by different governmental agencies.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) regulates products of animal, mineral and plant origin, beverages, wine and vinegar. It also controls agricultural inputs and products intended for veterinary use, from food additives to animal beautification products. Furthermore, it is responsible for the political administration of agriculture and standardization development.
Products related to human health, such as cosmetics and other health-related items (referred to as correlatos in Portuguese), sanitizers, household products, food, and drugs fall under the responsibility of the National Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).

*SIF: Federal Inspection Service - responsible for ensuring the quality of edible and inedible products of animal origin intended for the domestic and foreign markets, as well as imported products.
**ER: Establishment and Product Registration - issues licenses for correct application of pest control products in agriculture and agrochemicals, and also vaccines and remedies to combat animal diseases.
