Burger King to Lose Head for Dragging Feet in the Trans Fat Revolution?

FTC

According to this Center for Science in the Public Interest press release, Burger King is the “biggest chain without firm plans to convert to safer alternatives to partially hydrogenated oils.” The Center has filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. seeking an order to prevent Burger King from “using the deadly trans-fat-laden ingredient, or at least require prominent warning notices on [its] menu boards.” The press release acknowledges, however, that Burger King will comply with recent Philadelphia and New York trans fats bans. Other recent blog postings have addressed trans fat developments at other chains.
