Food Safety and Standards Authority of India ( FSSAI) has started the ground work to limit trans fat content in food products like - Biscuits , Cakes , Bread , Namkeen ,Fast food ,Confectionery items etc . Showing concern over consumer preference to these kind of products FSSAI would limit the fat content as per the international standards . Normal standards followed by other countries is fat content to be between 2- 5% of the total fat in a diet .It would check the claims made by various companies of their product to be zero trans fat .
Trans fats are known to be the source of many heart related disease .Some food companies have already initiated declaring their product to zero trans fat. Britannia has started declaring about zero trans fat on their packaging . Hope rest would follow soon .
Note :
FSSAI has been constituted as a single regulating authority handling all aspects of food related issues . The Act would come into effect from January2010.
