Thailand is certified trans-fat free by the World Health Organization (WHO)

Thailand Recognized by the World Health Organization for Strict Control and Elimination of Trans Fats
On December 7, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that Thailand is one of the first five countries in the world to successfully eliminate trans fats from the food industry.

Importance of Eliminating Trans Fats Trans fats are fats created by the partial hydrogenation process in vegetable oils, which have significant negative health effects, especially increasing the risk of heart disease and vascular diseases. Eliminating trans fats from food is therefore an important goal in promoting public health.

Thailand's Success Thailand's recognition by WHO demonstrates its commitment and success in implementing public health policies. Thailand has taken the following actions: Enacted laws and measures to control the use of trans fats in the food industry Encouraged food manufacturers to modify their production formulas to reduce or eliminate trans fats Educated the public about the dangers of trans fats and how to choose safe food products

Impact on Public Health The elimination of trans fats from food will have long-term positive effects on the health of Thai people. It is expected to reduce the incidence of heart disease and vascular diseases, as well as other chronic non-communicable diseases related to trans fat consumption.

Conclusion : These changes have resulted in safer non-dairy creamer products in Thailand, aligning with the country's policy to eliminate trans fats. This is part of the success recognized by the World Health Organization. It marks a significant step in the country's public health development, which will benefit the long-term health of Thai people and serve as a model for other countries in implementing effective health policies.
