Adverse health effects found to be caused by the industrial trans fatty acids (TFAs) encouraged significant changes in the food supply. A working model was implemented based on a multisectoral approach to monitor progress in the reduction of TFAs in compliance with Argentine food regulations. We analysed the fatty-acid profiles of commercial foods over the entire country comparing the results before and after the deadline for the compliance. A 93% adherence in the foods was obtained after the finalisation of the deadline for the compliance with the limited use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. The analytical monitoring was a key tool operating for the compliance by the food manufacturers. The industrial TFAs were mostly replaced by semisolid fractions of vegetable oils containing high percentages of saturated fatty acids. Promising innovations for the food industry were established that provided more healthful alternative substitutes for TFAs.
工业反式脂肪酸（TFAs）对健康的不良影响被发现后，食品供应发生了重大变化。基于多部门方法，实施了一个工作模式，以监测减少 TFAs 的进展，以符合阿根廷食品法规。我们分析了全国商业食品的脂肪酸谱，比较了遵守期限前后的结果。在最后期限之后，部分氢化植物油的有限使用得到遵守，食品的遵守率达到了 93%。分析监测是食品制造商遵守规定的关键工具。工业 TFAs 主要被含有高比例饱和脂肪酸的植物油半固态部分取代。为食品工业建立了有前途的创新措施，为 TFAs 提供了更健康的替代品。
