| Aha, that is great. I do not care about the percentage, even 1% say 1 gr per 100 gr of a foodstuff in transfat is extremely bad, as 1% of transfat accounts for 24% of world heart disease, so I basically want none.
Hence, any manufacturer that lists any form of fats that are partially hydrogenated or fully, is off my list.
Note this includes most of the bread at Migros, and most of the Roesti you find prepackaged in Switzerland, unfortunately  . | |

Actually...most packaged and convenience food I believe.... I am also not so sure about the packaging laws, but I do believe they must disclose if hydrogenated fats are present...just not the percentage. I also know there was a recent movement to try and get restaurants to disclose how much is in the food they are preparing...and how much of the food they are preparing is actually 'convenience food'...The gastrosuisse organization (sort of the restaurant union) came out against such a proposal.... I think this will become a larger issue in the near future...just like smoking in restaurants has become a larger issue in more recent times...
