Background
Dozens of states, cities and municipalities have considered
either mandatory or voluntary efforts to hasten the transition to
healthier oils in the food supply because of health considerations.
In the summer of 2005, New York City attempted a voluntary trans fat
ban, which did not prompt significant movement. In November 2006,
NYC then moved to make the trans fat ban mandatory to stimulate more
rapid action.
The Challenge
Operators are challenged to get out in front of the
grass roots trans fat transition by trying healthier oils that “fit” their
healthier frying needs. Fried foods continue to be one of the most
popular menu items and operators can help customers to continue to
enjoy them by making a few adjustments to their frying protocols.
