The Ministry of Health and Social Protection would establish a new technical regulation aimed at reducing the levels of trans fats in packaged foods and beverages intended for human consumption.
The project would be applicable to packaged foods, beverages and gastronomic preparations intended for human consumption in Colombia. It would also affect holders of registration, permit or sanitary notification of processed foods in the country.

Food and beverages for human consumption could not contain more than 2 grams of industrial trans fats per 100 grams of total fat. In addition, the use of partially hydrogenated oils would be prohibited in the processing of packaged foods and in the preparation of gastronomic preparations.

Packaged products would have to include on their labels the trans fat content in milligrams (mg) per 100 grams or milliliters of food and per serving of food, following the standards established in Resolution No. 810 of 2021 of the Ministry of Health.
