If you are addicted to tubs of popcorn or gorge on slices of pizza, it's time you take your health seriously as you might be a victim of a stroke or heart disease!

What is Trans-Fat?

Artificial Trans-Fats are created during hydrogenation, which converts liquid vegetable oils into semi-solid partially hydrogenated oil. Food laden with trans-fat are the following:

• Baked foods, such as cakes, cookies, and pies
• Microwave popcorn
• Frozen pizza
• Refrigerated dough, such as biscuits and rolls
• Fried foods, like french fries and fried chicken

Natural trans-fat is found in dairy and meat. Most of the processed food and ready-to-eat foods are laden with bad cholesterol and trans-fats. Food manufacturers add artificial substances to enhance taste and increase shelf life. 

How can FSSAI be your heart's friend?

A diet laden with trans-fats can make you obese and prone to a plethora of diseases. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) department has planned to introduce a phased-out manner of reducing the content of trans-fats. Currently, the FSSAI limits trans-fat content in fats and oils to 5 percent, further notification to reduce trans-fats to 3 percent by 2021 and 2 percent by 2022. 

"Food safety is one aspect, but eating healthy and sustainable food is a priority", one of the top officials was quoted as saying. This transformation will prevent thousands of heart attacks and deaths every year. Currently, bakeries, sweet shops, and other food business operators can display 'trans-fat-free' logos on food products in their outlets.
