The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mahmuda Mamman, stated this during the official conferment of the Trans Fatty Acids Policy Champion Award on the Minister of State for Health, Dr Olorunmimbe Mamora, in Abuja.
According to Mamman, the ministry appreciates the regular presentation of the issues regarding Trans Fatty Acids for national discourse and strives to find solutions to its reduction and possible elimination from the Nigerian menu. He said, “Nigerians love fatty foods. TFAs through research are known globally as toxic chemicals associated with human risk gotten when food is consumed in the presence of industrially produced trans fat most commonly found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils which may be found in baked, fried and packaged foods.
“The toxic chemicals in TFAs are transmitted to related organs like heart and major organs to cause cardiovascular disease and other complications. “Currently, NAFDAC under our watch is reviewing fats and oils regulation to capture the two per cent maximum limit set up by World Health Organization and the ministry is giving all necessary support and will make sure that the regulations on fats and oils are gazetted on time.”
