The content of trans fatty acids (TFA) in Danish food has been monitored for the last 30 years. In margarines and shortenings the content of TFA has steadily declined from about 10 g/100 g margarine in the seventies to practically no TFA in margarines in 1999. In order to efficiently reduce the health risk related to TFA, Denmark decided to impose a maximum level of 2 g/100 g fat on industrially produced TFA (IP-TFA) with the Danish Order no. 160 of March 2003, as labelling was deemed insufficient to protect the consumers, especially risk groups like children or people with high intake of fast foods. A broader range of food was monitored with 253 samples in 2003 and 148 samples in 2005 after the Danish regulation was in effect. The investigations show that the TFA content has been reduced or removed from the products with high TFA content originally, like French fries, microwave oven popcorn and various bakery products, so IP-TFA are now without any significance for the intake of TFA in Denmark.
在过去30年里，丹麦一直在监测食品中的反式脂肪酸（TFA）含量。在人造黄油和起酥油中，TFA含量已从20世纪70年代的约10克/100克人造黄油稳步下降至1999年人造黄油中几乎不含TFA。为了有效降低与TFA相关的健康风险，丹麦通过2003年3月第160号丹麦法令，对工业生产的TFA（IP-TFA）设定了每100克脂肪2克的最高限量，因为标签被认为不足以保护消费者，特别是儿童或快餐摄入量高的人群等风险群体。丹麦法规生效后，2003年对范围更广的食品进行了监测，共253个样本，2005年监测了148个样本。调查表明，原本TFA含量高的产品，如薯条、微波炉爆米花和各类烘焙食品，其TFA含量已降低或去除，因此现在IP-TFA对丹麦人TFA的摄入量已无任何影响。
