Calgary's trans fat initiative dismantled as a result of reorganisations

Marzo 13, 2009

The province Alberta has put an end to Calgary's trans fat initiative.

In January 2008, the Calgary Health Region began limiting the amount of trans fats restaurants could use to less than two percent.

It was the first part of a multi-phase initiative that would see trans fats eliminated from use in restaurants and the foods we buy in grocery stores.

But Alberta Health Services, which has since dismantled the Calgary Health Region and created one superboard overseeing all healthcare in the province, says Calgary's health initiative has been shelved.

Alberta's Health Minister, Ron Liepert, says the government is not ready to pass a province-wide ban on trans fat and is waiting to see the federal legislation. The federal government has not released a timeline for when it plans to make a decision about trans fat.
