"The Minister of Health has committed to bring in tougher regulations to eliminate industrially produced trans fats in processed foods ... To facilitate this work, the Food Directorate is issuing a call for data related to the current use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), the primary source of industrially produced trans fats, in foods. The information being solicited by this call for data pertains to the amount and trans fat content of PHOs used as food ingredients, particularly in products that have faced challenges in transitioning away from PHOs, whether in prepackaged foods, restaurant foods or other food service establishments."--Context, p. 2.
