- The World Health Organisation (WHO) has awarded certificates for progress in eliminating industrially produced trans fatty acids (iTFA) to five countries.
- The recipients were Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.
- WHO’s ambitious goal to entirely eliminate iTFA from the global food supply by the end of 2023 was not fully achieved.
- In 2023 alone, seven countries – Egypt, Mexico, Moldova, Nigeria, North Macedonia, the Philippines and Ukraine – implemented new best-practice policies to eliminate iTFA.
- As of now, 53 countries have effective best practice policies to address iTFA in food.
- These policies are estimated to save approximately 183,000 lives annually.
