According to Cyberpresse, the program that was established in 2006 by Health Canada is working.
According to a new report published by the Trans Fat Monitoring Program, 80% of the products sold in Canada are following the new guidelines.
Inspectors who measure the trans fat contents are thrilled with the response of the food industry, which has adhered to the new legislation.
Leona Aglukkaq of the Ministry of Health stated, “Our government is pleased to see that industry has reduced the level of trans fat in many pre-packaged foods,” said Minister Aglukkaq. “This was achieved by finding healthier alternatives without increasing the levels of saturated fat. We are also encouraged that foods sold at various restaurants serving international cuisine are meeting the trans fat limit.”
