Eleven of the largest global food and drink companies have pledged to phase out industrially produced trans fats by the end of 2018.

Eleven members of the International Food & Beverage Alliance (IFBA) have adopted a worldwide commitment to phase out industrially produced trans fatty acids (TFAs) in their products in the next two years.

This marks another step in progressing the commitments the same 11 companies, which includes General Mills, first made to the World Health Organization in 2008.
