SHANGHAI, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 24, the International Forum on Zero
Trans-Fat Oil, organized by the Grease Branch of the Chinese
Cereals and Oils Association and Yihai Kerry Group, and
co-organized by the oil provider Arawana
Sunshine, was held in Shanghai. This was the response of the Chinese
food sector to WHO's REPLACE action package. The emergence of
trans-fat-free cooking oils indicates that China is about to enter the 5G oil era.
WHO estimates that every year, trans-fat intake results in more
than 500,000 deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases. Professor
Jennifer Coates, a WHO expert,
explained at the Forum: more than 40,000 Chinese per 1 million of
the population are at risk from intake of trans-fatty acids
(TFA).
According to the report Risk Assessment of Dietary Trans-Fatty
Acids Intake in the Chinese Population released in 2012, about half
the TFA intake of Chinese people in large cities came from cooking
oils.
Based on this, Yihai Kerry Group invested more than 200 million yuan in systematic and comprehensive
research into green processing technology with precision and
moderation factored in, and accelerated it into industrial
application, thereby launching the healthy oil era of Arawana
Sunshine Zero Trans-Fat Vegetable Oils. To date, Arawana Sunshine has marketed corn oil,
sunflower seed oil, canola oil and soybean oil under the Sunshine
brand.
Professor Walter Willett of
Harvard University said: "Arawana Sunshine zero trans-fat vegetable oils
help China to control the intake
of TFA at the source, thereby avoiding the health risks posed by
TFA to 1.4 billion people."
Now Arawana is pursuing a new international path with its
Sunshine Zero Trans-Fat Vegetable Oils, seeking to implement the
REPLACE action package and to offer more dining options for
Chinese people.
