President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed the Law on European Integration to Improve the Quality of Food Products, bill No. 5148, which limits the use of palm oil in food products, including those consumed by children.
The law, in particular, provides:
- Establish the maximum content of trans fatty acids in food products (not more than 2 grams per 100 grams of the total amount of all fats contained in the food product).
- Prohibition of the use of palm oil in traditional dairy products.
- Prohibition of the use of hydrogenated palm oil and other hydrogenated vegetable fats in baby food.
- Prohibition of the use of hydrogenated palm oil in food products (confectionery: chocolate, ice cream, etc.).
- Establishment of an obligation for market operators, when supplying food products to other producers, to provide information on the amount of trans fatty acids in such products.
- Introduction of clear and understandable labeling of food products containing palm oil.
- The law will come into force the day after its publication and will enter into force one year after its publication.
Its implementation is expected to contribute to the improvement of the quality of food products and the reduction of morbidity in the population.
