Food packaging must be marked with trans fatty acid content

How much trans fatty acid is in a bag of egg yolks? From January 2013, this content must be marked on the food packaging bag.

On the 2nd, the Ministry of Health issued the “General Principles of Nutrition Labeling for Prepackaged Foods” as one of the “National Food Safety Standards”, and the content of trans fats (acids) should be marked in the nutrition tables of foods that are mandatory for hydrogenated oils. .

Trans fatty acids are called "health killers"

In general terms, packaged foods can be referred to as "prepackaged foods". It is clear from the general guidelines that this standard does not apply to nutrition labels for health foods and prepackaged special dietary foods. According to experts from the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, this is the first time China has mandatory requirements for labeling.

The trans-fatty acids are mainly derived from vegetable oils, ie hydrogenated oils. They are widely used in breads, cheeses, margarine, etc. because of their low cost. They are referred to by some experts as "healthy killers." Harvard University studies have shown that there is a correlation between trans fatty acids and cardiovascular disease.

"The creamy food can't be eaten" is wrong

According to the general rules of this publication, when hydrogenated and/or partially hydrogenated fats are used in food ingredients or during production, trans fats (acids) should also be indicated in the nutrient composition table.

Zhang Jian, a researcher at the China Center for Disease Control and Food and Nutrition, told the Ministry of Health that in 2003, China's Center for Disease Control started monitoring trans-fatty acids in foods. Preliminary monitoring results showed that the per capita intake of trans-fatty acids in China's residents The amount is about 0.6 grams, far below the level of European and American countries. The statement that "cream foods cannot be eaten" is wrong.

Trans fatty acids can provide energy

Since trans fatty acids are called "health killers", why should it be written in nutritional labels?

Yesterday, the CDC expert explained that trans fatty acids are slowly metabolized in the human body, taking into account its relationship with chronic diseases, and have some detrimental effects, but trans fatty acids are still a type of fat structure that can provide energy to people. .

The General Regulations shall be implemented as of January 1, 2013. At the same time, any nutritional information indicated on the nutrition label shall be true and objective, and false information shall not be displayed, and the nutrition or other effects of the product may not be exaggerated.
