Petition Ban Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils in our Food

More details

Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils are also known as Trans-fats.

There are a lot of people in the UK overweight and dying from heart disease. Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils are the leading cause to this.

We want the UK government to follow other countries such as Denmark and Switzerland to ban Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Fats and Oils in our food, and companies have to replace these oils with healthy alternatives such as Sunflower or Olive Oil.

This proposal will also cut spending on the NHS as many people will end up not being overweight and are less likely to develop heart disease.
