Schools Cutting Back on Trans Fat

Area schools are getting more information on new rules affecting the sale of food to students.
New regulations that went into effect in September place a limit on the amount of trans fat food items that can be sold at school cafeterias and vending machines.
Julie Slack a nutritionist with the Northwestern Health Unit says the figure is limited to less than 5 per cent in food and 2 per cent in a liquid product.
Slack says the act does provide 10-special event days where the school can sell items that exceed the new requirements.
