Trans-Fat; Sans-Fat
On December 5, 2006, the New York City Board of Health approved a measure requiring restaurants to eliminate almost all trans-fats from their food items. All city restaurants will be required to use frying oil that leaves food with less than half a gram of trans-fat per serving by July 2007. The measure could be challenged by city regulations and the restaurant industry. Yum! Brands, for one, did not seem that supportive. Its representative, David Novac, was quoted as saying, “We think it’s ridiculous – it’s just going to create more confusion and slow things down for the consumer.”
