Summary and conclusion 148 samples of chocolate, candy, ice cream, cookies, cakes, French fries and frozen potatoes, microwave oven popcorn and more have been analysed for fat content and fatty acid profile including trans-fatty acids (TFA). The products were primarily found among Danish producers and importers. The investigation has taken place in the period from December 2004 to February 2005. 12 samples of French fries are included from project 2003-04-64-00273 in addition to 3 samples from regional control, Fødevareregion Århus. These samples were collected in the period from March 2004 to February 2005 and in November 2004, respectively. 81 of the samples or 55% were imported. 26 of the 148 samples had a content of TFA higher than 2 g/100g fat - among these 14 were without milk fat declared/found. In 9 of the 12 samples with milk fat, the content of TFA may be due entirely to the milk fat. However, in the last 3 samples with a content of TFA between 3,0 and 10,5 g/100g fat, partially hydrogenated fat must also contribute to the TFA content (included in the formula list for 2 of the samples). 1 sample of margarine is declared free from TFA, but there is found >1 g TFA/100g fat. In 17 or 11% of the samples the contents of TFA are higher than 2 g TFA/100g fat after correction for TFA from milk fat. 5 of the 17 samples are produced in Denmark. Among samples with milk fat only 1 sample is with very high content of TFA. This indicates that producers do not speculate in adding partially hydrogenated fat to products containing milk fat (and TFA). Cakes, cookies, French fries and frozen potatoes, tortilla bread and chocolate were remarkable with a high content of TFA and often also a high content of fat. Compared to the investigation in 2002-2003, ref. 7, there is a reduction in the number of samples sold in Denmark with content of TFA higher than 2% of the fat. Before the law was put into force 70 of 253 samples had a content of TFA higher than 2% of the fat but 6 of these samples had contents of TFA that may be due entirely to TFA from the milk fat. Totally 64 of 253 samples or 25% would have been illegal if the law had existed at that time. The Danish Margarine industry has voluntarily managed to reduce the content of TFA in retail margarines to about zero, ref. 4. Other fat containing food products sold in Denmark are now - due to the law - on the same way, since fewer products have be seen with high amounts of TFA in 2004-2005 compared to the investigation in 2002-2003, ref. 7. However it can be concluded that there is still a demand of communicating out the law, ref. 2., to be totally free from products with TFA content higher than 2% of the fat in Denmark. 34
