NEW DELHI: Delhi-based NGO, Centre for Science and Environment, has alleged that leading food manufacturers are guilty of "large scale misbranding and misinformation" by claiming that their food contained zero transfats even though tests showed that they have heavy doses of it. Most popular "junk foods contain very high KFC is one of the 16 food brands accused of hiding the levels of trans-fats, salts and sugar - which inevitably lead to severe ill health and diseases harmful effects of its products by the Centre for Science and Environment. Some other brands in the like obesity and diabetes," the CSE said on CSE list includes Maggi, Top Ramen noodles, Friday. It released the results of laboratory tests MacDonalds foods PepsiCo products and Haldirams carried out on 16 major food brands that the Aloo Bhujia. young particularly like, such as Maggi and Top Ramen noodles, MacDonald's foods, KFC's fried chicken and Haldiram's Aloo Bhujia. These findings were disputed by the manufacturers. Trans-fats clog arteries when they get deposited on the walls of the arteries making the passage narrower, while large amounts of salt leads to increase in blood pressure making the heart work overtime. CSE noted that the kind of food under test has enough trans-fats, salt and sugar to lead to an early onset of diseases in the young. It accused the companies of not disclosing the real contents of their products. CSE's lab tested samples of popular foods such as potato chips, snacks like aloo bhujia, noodles, soft drinks, burgers, French fries and fried chicken. Their results showed that having just one serving of these foods "completely overturned one's daily diet chart." The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribe benchmarks of how much salt, sugar, carbohydrates and fats every individual can have on a daily basis to stay healthy. Citing an example, CSE said, "The NIN benchmark for maximum salt for one person is 6 gram, while the WHO puts it at 5 gram. The normal 80-gram packet of Maggi noodles that many of us gobble up almost on a daily basis has over 3.5 gram of salt - enough to take care of over 60 per cent of our daily salt intake." But much more than salt the real concern was the threat from the trans-fats which were disclosed by the companies, CSE noted. The WHO says that in a balanced diet, a maximum of 1 per cent of total energy should come from trans fats. Therefore, an adult male can have 2.6 gram of trans fats per day, while an adult female can have 2.1 gram and a child (10-12 years) can have 2.3 gram.

actually contains 0.7 gram of it per 100 gram. Similarly, Haldiram's Aloo Bhujia says it has no trans fats, but the study found 2.5 gram per 100 gram. PepsiCo's Lays (Snack Smart) was sold till February 2012 through huge advertisements to say that these chips are healthy because they have zero trans fats, but every 100 grams of it has 3.7 grams of trans fats. The companies strongly refuted the allegations in the CSE report. Pepsico said, "All products manufactured by PepsiCo in India are fully compliant with all the regulations, including those on labelling, prescribed by the FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)." It said that its products under the Lays, Uncle Chips, Kurkure and Cheetos brands are trans-fat free. Nestle in its response said, "We respect the work being done by organizations like CSE to improve consumers' understanding of healthy and balanced diets. Maggi is intended as a light meal and can safely be consumed as part of diversified balanced diet." McDonald's said, "In India we take a lot of effort to ensure our food is safe for our customers and have stringent quality processes at every stage. At McDonald's stores we use RBD Palmolein oil which is naturally trans-fat free." CSE's contention is otherwise. Its report says, "A child eating one MacDonald's Happy Meals finishes up 90% of all his daily requirement of trans fats. The packet of Happy Meal makes absolutely no mention of this massive dosage of trans fats." As per FSSAI rules, a product can claim to be trans fats free if it contains less than 0.2 gm of trans fats per serving but CSE found several brands flouting the norm and yet calling themselves trans fat free. CSE's director general Sunita Narain said, "What makes junk food so unhealthy are the high levels of salt, sugar, fats and carbohydrates in them. Our new study, which looks at the nutritional value of these foods, is to make people aware of what these foods really contain and what they will do to our health." FOOD FOR WORRY CSE report says Maggi Noodles | Single pack contains 3.5g of salt; daily recommended intake is 6g. Negligible fibres ; 70% just carbohydrates Top Ramen Super Noodles (Masala) | 0.7g trans fats/100g though company claims zero trans fats

RS (Pune) 37 mins ago (05:16 PM) This looks like a paid study by Dominoes else why would the study not cover Pizza. The Pizzas are the most fattening foods with all the 3 cheese and cheese burst etc. Half the IT workers have become fat due to Pizza parties. (incl. me !!) So can this NGO come up with a similar report on Pizzas from Dominoes/Pizza Hut and others?

TwoGboros Sonia (canada) 45 mins ago (05:08 PM) Transfat saif ali khan advertises for transfat filled Lay chips. Contact 011 41226439 on junk food. Not only the junk food is bad and it is mostly consumed by the idiots in North India where obesity is a major problem. The Danpo chicken sold all over the world contains beef extract to retain water, and thereby increase its weight. This was being done at a time of the epidemic of mad cow disease. Eating anything in hotels is at the expense of ones health. The way the food items are adulterated, the way there is no health certification for the cooks, lack of clean water etc make the common kitchen and hotel food, can put ones health in danger. The common kitchens and hotel kitchens staff wont even wash the pesticide laden vegitable sufficient times to remove pesticide traces from it. I had seen the back side of many kitchens of some of the best known hotels, and the way they some of them use the rag pickers and street boys and AID infected, to cut the vegetables etc on the staircases, will make one vomit.

Also remember the cost advertisement is passed to the consumer.

Rajgopal (India) replies to sv 2 hrs ago (03:11 PM) Animal-based fats were once the only trans fats consumed, but by far the largest amount of trans fat consumed today is created by the processed food industry as a side effect of partially hydrogenating unsaturated plant fats (generally vegetable oils). These partially hydrogenated fats have displaced natural solid fats and liquid oils in many areas, the most notable ones being in the fast food, snack food, fried food, and baked goods industries. They can only be made by cooking with a very high heat, at temperatures impossible in a household kitchen. See Wikipedia - Trans Fat and presence in food subsection
