NYC Restaurants Can Comply with the Ban on Trans Fat by Switching to Omega-9 Oils Now

On Dec. 5, 2006, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene passed a ban on the use of trans fat in the city’s more than 20,000 restaurants and foodservice institutions.

This includes the restriction on the use of oils, margarines, and vegetable shortenings containing trans fat used for frying and spreads to begin on July 1, 2007. The restriction on all other foods has been set for July 1, 2008, with the only exception being foods that come in the manufacturer’s original packaging.

Prior to the ban, quick service restaurant chain Taco Bell, healthcare’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and numerous other foodservice establishments in New York City had already found their solution in Omega-9 Oils.

Restaurant owners and foodservice decision makers of New York City are now seeking a healthier alternative to partially hydrogenated oils. Fortunately, a solution is available today!

Omega-9 Canola and Sunflower Oils have a light, clean taste, and represent the “next generation” of food industry oils because they have zero trans fat, the lowest amount of saturated fat among oils, and the highest level of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, with superior performance, and availability now.
