Detailed explanation-1: -The FSSAI has capped the amount of trans fatty acids (TFA) in oils and fats to 3% for 2021 and 2% by 2022 from the current permissible limit of 5% through an amendment to the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restriction on Sales) Regulations.
Detailed explanation-2: -International expert groups and public health authorities recommend limiting consumption of trans fat (industrially-produced and ruminant) to less than 1% of total energy intake, which translates to less than 2.2 g/day for a 2, 000-calorie diet.
Detailed explanation-3: -United States. On 11 July 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a regulation requiring manufacturers to list trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel of foods and some dietary supplements.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the United States if a food has less than 0.5 grams of trans fats in a serving, the food label can read 0 grams trans fats. Products made before the FDA ban of artificial trans fats might still be for sale, so check to see if a food’s ingredient list says partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
