Assessment of Trans Fatty Acids in Imported Oils
Assessment of Trans Fatty Acids in Imported Oils In 2015, FSANZ presented a technical evaluation in response to Recommendation 13 from the Review of Food Labelling Law and Policy (mandatory declaration of trans-fatty acids (TFA) in the nutrition information panel) to the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation (Forum). The technical evaluation reported results from an analytical survey of TFA levels in 500 foods purchased in Australia and New Zealand which found that TFA levels were generally low. A dietary intake assessment of TFAs found that intakes were below the World Health Organization's recommended level of 1% dietary energy in both Australia and New Zealand. Based on the outcomes of the technical evaluation FSANZ advised that mandatory labelling of TFAs did not appear warranted. The…
