[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1205313, member: 196898"] There are currently no UK legal requirements for food manufacturers to label trans fats...This means you need to check ingredients lists for hydrogenated fats or hydrogenated vegetable oils. Trans fats in the USA are not yet banned, and manufacturers have about 3 years to implement their removal or replacement by fully saturated varieties. In 2012 the UK Government decided that there will be no legal action to remove transfats in UK manufactured foods. The FSA has stated that the level of TFA in UK foods is considered to be safe and no action is required. A voluntary Code of Conduct is informally being discussed between manufacturers, but it will not be binding Most UK supermarket retailers have taken steps to remove TFA from their Own Brands, and Sainsbury is the only one so far that has achieved this. Wikipedia has an interesting coverage on this, so I am not going to copy it here, ” [/QUOTE]
