HomeAnalytical approach for checking the compliance of fats and oils against the regulated limit for industrial trans fatty acids (Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/649)
Publication metadata
This document describes a workflow to estimate the amount of industrial trans fatty acids (iTFA) in food products containing mixtures of partially hydrogenated oils and ruminant fats (dairy fat or beef tallow). The workflow requires the determination of the mass ratios (g/100 g fat) of butyric acid and total trans fatty acids (TFA) by a standardised method (ISO 16958:2015 IDF 231:2015). The obtained data are subjected to a decision making algorithm to identify whether the fat contains: less than the regulated limit for TFA (e.g. less than 2 g/100 g fat), only iTFA in amounts exceeding the limit, only rTFA in amounts exceeding the limit, a mixture of iTFA and rTFA in amounts exceeding the limit. This approach can be used to check compliance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/649, which introduces a limit of 2 grams per 100 grams of fat for the content of trans fat, other than trans fat naturally occurring in fat of animal origin.
