The report documents the World Health Organization's expert consultation on the protocol for measuring trans-fatty acids (TFA) in foods, held virtually in June 2022. The main objective is to address challenges faced by laboratories globally in implementing the WHO reference protocol for TFA measurement, particularly in low-resource settings. The consultation aimed to simplify the protocol while maintaining accuracy in measuring TFA content, ensuring global applicability and compliance with TFA reduction policies. Key topics discussed include gas chromatography methodologies, internal standards, and solvent use, with the goal of eliminating industrially produced TFAs as part of WHO's global health strategy.
