Maestros mezcaleros have formally asked Marcelo Ebrard to participate in the ongoing review of NOM-070, according to recent reports surrounding Mexico’s cultural heritage protections. The producers want direct engagement from federal leadership as regulatory bodies evaluate the standards governing traditional mezcal production.

NOM-070 and Cultural Heritage Protections

The regulatory framework known as NOM-070-SCFI-2016 establishes the legal requirements for producing, bottling, and commercializing mezcal. Because mezcal carries a designated Denominación de Origen and represents biocultural heritage, producers argue that updates must reflect traditional methods rather than industrial shortcuts.

Regulatory oversight involves agencies such as the Secretaría de Economía and the Dirección General de Normas. Mezcal producers contend that official revisions require input from the rural communities who preserve ancestral distillation practices.

Next Steps in the Regulatory Review

The request places pressure on federal officials to include small-scale producers in future working groups and public consultations. Industry representatives maintain that excluding traditional makers from the NOM-070 revision process could compromise the authenticity of Mexico’s protected spirits.
