"As part of the changes that Anvisa have implemented with the aim to improve its work procedures and services provided, from today the lines of analysis of the General Management of Toxicology will not be published anymore in PDF or similar format. It is important to highlight that the analysis will be done according to the chronological order of protocols,” promises the agency.
