A Conversation with Beth Warren, MS, RDN, CDN - 2

The food industry is bracing for major changes as the FDA is expected to move forward with eliminating trans fat, a food ingredient seen as a major health risk.  Trans fat is used in everything from frozen pizza to margarine to candy.  How will this move effect consumers? Beth Warren, a New York-based registered dietitian and nutritionist can speak about trans fats and what consumers need to know about the foods they eat.  A trans fat ban hits the kosher community especially hard as most who keep kosher use margarine instead of butter, especially in baked goods. How does this affect Parve products and manufacturers?
