Re: Law about food contents? [or: Transfat in Swiss products]

The swiss federal health office,(BundesAmt für Gesundheit) has issued a few recommendations on this webpage,sadly not available in english
http://www.bag.admin.ch/themen/ernae...x.html?lang=de

scroll down tot he TRANSFETTE ,the articles are quite recent

It has also been discussed in the parliament ( Nationalrat)

Currently there is NO such law in Switzerland,they are observing the EU offices who are also discussing this topic too.
The federal health office is currently looking into the need of setting an upper limit of how much trans fatty acids a food can or should contain.
