Pakistan Passes Landmark National Standard to Eliminate Trans Fats
05th June 2025
In a major public health victory, Pakistan officially adopted a comprehensive national standard that limits industrially produced trans fats (iTFAs) to less than 2% of total fat across all food products. Passed by the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) in March 2025, the regulation aligns the country with the World Health Organization's (WHO) best-practice guidelines for eliminating harmful trans fats from the food supply.
