通用磨坊、雀巢等知名企业承诺降低产品反式脂肪酸含量

近日国际食品饮料联盟宣布一项降低反式脂肪酸协定，通用磨坊、家乐氏、玛氏、雀巢、联合利华等国际食品饮料联盟成员承诺到2018年底之前降低反式脂肪酸含量至低于1g/100g。

然而有两个特例：

宾堡集团（Grupo Bimbo）表示，在2015年之前已经将98%产品当中的反式脂肪含量将至0.5g/份，会在2020年12月31日前完成低于1g/100g的目标。

麦当劳没不赞成这个协定，表示将评估全球特许加盟网络，尽快表明立场。

部分原文报道如下：

Global food and drinks businesses including General Mills, Kellogg, Mars, Nestlé and Unilever have pledged to reduce trans fatty acids to “nutritionally insignificant levels” by the end of 2018.

Members of the International Food & Beverage Alliance – which aims to help consumers achieve balanced diets and healthy lifestyles – made an initial pledge to the World Health Organization in 2008 to phase out industrially produced trans fatty acids （TFAs） in their products.

IFBA members have this week announced the agreement of a common goal to reduce TFAs in products to less than one gram of trans fat per 100g of product worldwide by the end of 2018 at the latest.

There are two exceptions to this:

Grupo Bimbo said it will need a longer phase-out period to ensure its whole portfolio meets the requirement and has set a target of no later than 31 December 2020. It added it had reduced industrially produced trans fats to less than 0.5g per serving in 98% of its global portfolio by 2015.

McDonald’s has not agreed to the commitment but said it is assessing its global franchise network and will confirm its position as soon as possible.
