Egypt to limit harmful trans fats in food after WHO warning


one of the highest trans fat consumers in the world — has introduced maximum trans fat limits in line with World Health Organisation standards that will become mandatory in October.

A decree published in the country's official gazette last October from the National Food Safety Authority set a limit of two grams of trans fat per 100 grams of total fat in all foods within one year.

Manufacturers are also prohibited from using partially hydrogenated oils, a major source of trans fat.
