The Product List is a resource for Food Service Operators.

The Product List does not constitute an endorsement of one product over another. Products have been listed based upon the percentage of saturated fat and then alphabetically. Choose the product with the lowest percentage of saturated fat that works for your menu item. While we endeavour to be all-inclusive, the list may not be exhaustive of all products in compliance with the BC trans fat regulation. Food Service Operators are encouraged to ask their suppliers about products available that meet the trans fat restrictions.
