This spotlight update on NCDA’s work to accelerate trans fat elimination shares recent activities, new resources and ways to get involved.

Industrially produced trans-fatty acids have no known health benefits, and can be replaced with healthier alternatives. This webinar features different country experiences with proven strategies to reduce and eliminate exposure to artificial TFAs.

Ten advocates from eight countries attended an NCD Alliance training in Geneva on 22 & 23 May 2019 on the margins of the 72nd World Health Assembly to increase their knowledge and advocacy skills for trans fat elimination.

To accelerate progress towards the global elimination of trans fatty acids (TFAs) by 2023, NCD Alliance and its partner Resolve to Save Lives - an initiative of Vital Strategies - hosted a side event at the 72nd World Health Assembly on the elimination of TFAs on 22 May 2019.

This report presents case studies of six countries in different regions of the world that have enacted policies to eliminate industrially-produced trans fatty acids/trans fat (TFA) from their food supply. The purpose of this report is to provide civil society organizations (CSOs) and policy-makers around the world with examples of successful strategies for enacting and implementing TFA policies. The report also provides best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations based on the experience of policy-makers, advocates, and researchers involved in such efforts.
