  Countries with regulations protecting people from industrially produced trans fat tripled over the p

Since May 2020, Bangladesh, India, Paraguay, the Philippines and Ukraine have also passed best-practice trans fat elimination policies, marking important progress for WHO’s initiative to achieve the global goal to eliminate industrially produced trans fat by 2023.  However, the countries with the most trans fat in their food supply have yet to pass these critical policies. (...) WHO recommends that countries develop, implement and enforce best-practice policies, either through setting trans fat limits or banning partially hydrogenated oils (a major source of trans fat in food).

  The health risks of trans fats. Developing an EVIPNet Evidence Brief for Policy in Turkey

Trans fat are unsaturated fats which occur naturally in small quantities, but are also found in fried, packaged, or processed fast food products as a result of hydrogenating vegetable oils into semi-solid form. (...) In Turkey, trans fats were identified as a major health risk in two multi-stakeholder meetings in 2018. (...) Which policy options did you consider in your EBP, and how did the process help drive evidence to policy? Based on our evidence review, the key informant interviews, and the policy dialogues, we discussed establishing mandatory limits on trans fats, labelling trans fat-free foods, and introducing incentives to replace them with healthier oils as three possible policy options.

Working Group 5 was devoted to Analytical Issues in Food Energy and Composition: Energy in Food Labelling, including Regulatory and Trade Issues (see Annex II), and was created partially in anticipation of possible changes in the energy requirements that may have resulted from the new requirements being based totally on energy expenditure data.2 In addition to discussing the preferred methods of protein, fat, carbohydrate and dietary fibre 2 In fact, the resulting recommendations for younger age groups were significantly different from those made in the 1985 report. (...) Chapter 2 describes the various methods of food analysis, reviews the current status of the analytical methods for proteins, fats and carbohydrates and makes preferred recommendations for use in food analysis based on the current state of the art and the available technology. (...) Nitrogen content is then multiplied by a factor to arrive at protein content. This approach is based on two assumptions: that dietary carbohydrates and fats do not contain nitrogen, and that nearly all of the nitrogen in the diet is present as amino acids in proteins.

  WHO/FAO release independent Expert Report on diet and chronic disease

The quality of fats and oils in a diet, as well as the amount of salt consumed, the report says, can also have an influence on cardiovascular diseases such as strokes and heart attacks. (...) “Not all fats or all carbohydrates are the same; it pays to know the difference,” said Dr Uauy, adding, “People should eat less high-calorie foods, especially foods high in saturated fat and sugar, be physically active, prefer unsaturated for saturated fat and use less salt; enjoy fruits, vegetables and legumes and prefer foods of plant and marine origin..” (...) The Expert Report’s specific recommendations on diet include limiting fat to between 15 and 30 percent of total daily energy intake and saturated fats to less than 10 percent of this total.
