    The present research work arises from the interest in deepening in the commercialization of products for human consumption with transgenic content, its regulation in the purchasing market and correlated with the Regulation of Labeling of Processed Foods for human consumption, derived from the provisions of Article 401 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador approved in 2008, stating that Ecuador is a country free of transgenic crops and seeds. However, paradoxically, the commercialization of transgenic products and raw materials for human consumption in Ecuador is not prohibited. This research work analyzes the current legal bodies on the treatment of food labeling, its relationship with genetically modified organisms and the commercialization of these products in Ecuador, from a purely regulatory approach. Indispensably, it will address what is the relevance of food labeling in the consumer market, under what legal guidelines it is done so that it complies with its respective labeling. At the same time, it will determine the impact of the consumption of transgenic foods on consumers' health. Finally, this approach aims to provide better and more efficient information spaces for consumers, emphasizing the health of consumers as a primary duty of the State, to ensure appropriate information for making decisions regarding consumption, considering the long-term impact that possibly falls on their health
