Book excerpt: In support of the WHO’s goal of eliminating industrially produced trans-fatty acids (iTFA) from the global food supply by 2023, members of the International Food and Beverage Alliance (IFBA) – comprising many of the largest food and non-alcoholic beverage companies globally – signed a commitment in 2019 stating their intention to voluntarily limit iTFA to below 2g per 100g of fats and oils in their products worldwide. The commitment called for companies to reformulate products containing iTFA without increasing the content of saturated fats. This report monitors IFBA member companies’ progress in achieving this commitment, including reporting on progress against these targets in the public domain.
