Trans fatty acids to be banned in foods in the US
Trans-fats are unsafe to eat and must be banned from the food supply within three years, US regulators have announced.
The US Food and Drug Administration said partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), the main source of trans-fats, are not “generally recognised as safe”. It said a ban would save lives by preventing fatal heart attacks.
Food suppliers have been required to show trans-fats information on food labels since 2006 but health experts say Americans still consume too much. (MTI)
