“Trans fats, made from vegetable oil and used in processed foods, have been linked to raised cholesterol.

The Food and Drink Federation has said hundreds of well-known brands, such as Horlicks, Mars and Weetabix, are being reformulated to eliminate trans fats.

Heart experts called for food labels to list trans fats levels.

Denmark has already banned their use in foods, and the British Heart Foundation said there appeared to have been no impact on the consumer.”
