The American Heart Association (AHA) updated criteria for its Food Certification Program, which will include new limits for trans fats. After Jan. 1, 2008, companies seeking to include the AHA's heart-check mark on packages will have to demonstrate the product contains less than 0.5 grams per Reference Amount Customarily Consumed. Individual foods and meat/poultry/seafood items will have to meet additional requirements related to servings...
Somewhat belated on the one hand, and still not addressing the transfat loophole on the other hand - which still allows sizable quantities of transfats per package, should the package contain several serving sizes.
