WHO NCD Action Plan 2013-2020 (WHA 66.10)Policy options for Member States: promoting a healthy diet
• Developing or strengthening food and nutrition policies and action plans
• Strengthening implementation of related global strategies:– Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health– Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding– Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young
Child Nutrition– Recommendations on the marketing of foods and non-alcoholic
beverages to children
• Protecting dietary guidance and food policy from undue influence of commercial and other vested interests
(a) Appropriate breastfeeding practices
(b) Marketing of foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children
(c) Food producers and processors, other commercial operators, and consumers, to:
– Reduce salt/sodium
– Increase fruit and vegetables
– Reduce/replace saturated fatty acids
– Replace trans-fatty acids
– Reduce sugars
– Limit excess calorie intake, reduce portion size and energy density of foods.
(d) Food retailers/caterers to improve availability, affordability and acceptability of healthier food products
(e) Healthy food in all public institutions, i.e. schools, workplaces
(f) Economic tools, e.g. taxes and subsidies
(g) Healthy agricultural products and foods
(h) Evidence-informed public campaigns and social marketing
(i) Health- and nutrition-promoting environments
(j) Nutrition labelling, e.g. Codex Alimentarius
WHO NCD Action Plan 2013-2020 (WHA 66.10)Policy options for Member States: promoting a healthy diet
Such policies and programmes should include a monitoring and evaluation plan and would aim to:

CIP-MIYCN5 high -priority actions for Member States
ACTION 1: To create a supportive environment for the implementation of
comprehensive food and nutrition policies
ACTION 2: To include all required effective health interventions with an impact on
nutrition in plans for scaling up
ACTION 3: To stimulate the implementation of non health interventions with an
impact on nutrition
ACTION 4: To provide adequate human and financial resources for the
implementation of health interventions with an impact on nutrition
ACTION 5: To monitor and evaluate the implementation of policies and
programmes
� Continuing to update dietary goals for the prevention of NCDs
- Effects of fats and fatty acids on health --- SFA and TFA↓
Justification for prioritising fats and fatty acids in 2012 – 2013
� Increasing attention (i.e. global targets for monitoring NCD prevention) and conflicting views on the roles and effects of different fats and fatty acids on health
� Need updated WHO recommendations and guidance• 1989 WHO Study Group on Diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases
(TRS797, 1990)• 1993 Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Fats and Oils in Human Nutrition (1994)• 2002 Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of
Chronic Diseases (TRS916, 2003)• 2008 Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Fats and Fatty Acids in Human Nutrition
(FAO 2010)

Partially hardened vegetable oils mainly contain trans isomers of oleic acid (C18:1 trans-9 or elaidic acid and C18: 1 trans-10).
Partially hydrogenated fish oils mainly contain trans isomers of C20:1, 20:2, 22:1 and 22:2
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils also contain smaller amounts of C18: 1 trans-8, and C18:1 trans-11 (vaccenic acid)
Trans isomers of alpha-linolenic acid may arise during deep-fat frying.
The differential effects of specific TFAs based on carbon chain length or trans isomer bond(s) position are less well established.
Main categories of trans-fatty acids
Industrial TFA"TFA produced by partial hydrogenation of fats and oils should be considered industrial food additives having no demonstrable health benefits and clear risks to human health… as such, food services, restaurants, and food and cooking fat manufacturers should avoid their use"
WHO Scientific Update on TFA, 2009
Industrial vs ruminant TFA“... industrial and ruminant TFAs may have similar effects on serum lipoproteins when ruminant TFA are consumed in sufficient quantities (much higher than seen with usual dietary intakes) …”
WHO Scientific Update on TFA, 2009
"Limited evidence is available to support a substantial biological difference in the detrimental effects of industrial trans fatty acids (iTFA) and ruminant trans fatty acids (rTFA) on health when rTFA is consumed at seven to ten times the normal level of consumption"
USDA Nutrition Evidence Library, 2010
Fatty acid profiles of different fats and oils
Palm oil complexity
• Originated from West Africa• Red palm oil became part of important item in the Atlantic slave trade (19th century)• British Industrial Revolution created a demand for palm oil for candle making and as
a lubricant for machinery
• Largest producers today - Indonesia, Malaysia
• Palm oil is 15% cheaper than other oils in Middle East• Malaysian palm oil Egypt
UAE
Iran - Largest direct importer of edible Malaysian palm oilEconomic cooperation agreement:
Malaysia – importing crude petroleumIran – palm oil
• McDonald's primarily uses palm oil as a cooking oil for its operations in:• Africa• Asia-Pacific• Middle East• Latin America
But NOT in Europeand North America!
Why? •Stronger governmental action and regulation?
Roadmap for SFA reduction
Proposed approaches to reduce intake of SFA and TFA
• Reformulation– Replacement of TFA with unsaturated FA , esp. PUFA (legislation)– Reduction of SFA and replacement with unsaturated FA, esp. PUFA– Monitoring product composition
• Labelling– Policy action for mandatory labelling– Scientifically based consumer friendly labelling schemes (nutrient profiling)
• Pricing policies– Differential taxation of products with reduced TFA and SFA content
• Marketing restrictions– Advertisements to children (developing nutrient profiling model - EURO)
• Menu changes in public institutions• Public awareness and education campaigns
– FBDG– Mass media– School education -- NFSI
• Evidence generation – Measurement of intake of SFA and TFA– Country experiences in taking action and its impacts
