Trans-fat facts
Denmark was a pioneerin setting a 2 percent maximum for artificial TFAs in all oils and fats in 2004. The Food and Drug Administration initiated a process to phase out artificial trans-fats from the food supply, leading to a significant reduction in their consumption. India is also implementing a phase-out of TFAsrather than an immediate ban, through regulations by the FSSAI. The authority has also launched a voluntary 'Trans-Fat Free\"logo to identify products with low TFA levels. Studies in countries that implemented bans, such as Denmark, have shown an association with reduced cardiovascular mortality rates. Indeed, better food labelling has also contributed to a sharp decline in TFA consumption
