Re-estimate of trans fat intake in adults

Tuesday 11 December 2007

As part of the Agency's review of the evidence of the health impacts of trans fats, a new estimate of trans fat intake was made in November 2007 using food consumption data from the 2000/01 National Diet and Nutrition Survey of adults aged 19-64 years and information provided by the food industry on current levels of trans fats in processed food categories.
