Draft policy finalised to limit trans-fat in foods

The government has finalized a draft of policy styled ‘Safe Food (Trans fatty acid) Bill, 2021’ to regulate the use of industrially-produced trans fats in food items.
The draft was finalized at a meeting of the Technical Committee on Trans Fats held on January 25.
Health experts said industrially-produced trans fat, known as dalda or bonospoti ghee in local markets, is a silent killer as the high level of trans fat in these foods increases bad cholesterol (LDL) and reduces good cholesterol (HDL) in the human body.
In its report titled “WHO Report on Global Trans Fat Elimination 2020” published on September 9, 2020, the World Health Organization said 15 countries, including Bangladesh, account for approximately two-thirds of the worldwide deaths linked to trans fat intake.

But progress is on the horizon.
