and restaurants are scrambling to
reformulate their recipes," said Ben
Morgan, executive vice-president of
the N.C.P.A. "The time is right to reintroduce cottonseed oil, while providing the food industry with as much
information as possible."
Closing in on 1 billion lbs
Low-linolenic soybean oil is close
to hitting the billion-lb mark, too, according to Qualisoy, a collaborative
effort within the soybean industry to
foster development and availability of
healthier soybeans and soy oil. An expected 800 million lbs of low-linolenic
soybean oil was to be available in 2007
with the amount rising to 1.3 billion
lbs in 2008.
Qualisoy lists the following companies as suppliers of low-linolenic
soybean oil: Archer Daniels Midland
Co., Decatur, Ill.; Asoyia, L.L.C., Winfield, Iowa; Bunge; Cargill, Minneapolis; CHS, St. Paul, Minn.; and Zeeland
Farm Services, Inc., Zeeland, Mich.
Qualisoy has other goals for soybean
oil. Besides a maximum of 3% linolenic
acid, which reduces the need for partial
hydrogenation that creates trans fat, it
hopes soybeans in the future may have
a maximum of 7% saturated fat content
and a minimum of 50% oleic acid.

for partially hydrogenated oils in
baked foods. However, palm oil is
about 50% saturated fats. Many oil
blends still include palm oil because
of its functional benefits in baked
foods.
"Palm oil and its fractions continue
to be key components for reduced
trans and reduced saturated fats,"

Bill seeks notation in
trans fat labeling
WASHINGTON - Legislation now
in the U.S. House of Representatives would clarify how some retail
food packages labeled as having
0 grams of trans fat per serving
may have up to 0.5 grams trans
fat per serving. Retail manufacturers are required by the Food
and Drug Administration to round
down to 0 grams trans fat per
serving on their product labels
when a product has under 0.5
grams trans fat per serving.
Representative Steve Israel of
New York on Oct. 8 introduced HR
3783, which would require manufacturers to use an asterisk or other notation to indicate that foods
may actually contain some trans
fat per serving even if the label
says 0 grams trans fat per serving.
The American Heart Association
supports the bill. MBN
