Cargill is the first edible oils supplier to make this commitment, joining many of the world\u2019s largest food companies and members of the International Food and Beverage Alliance (IFBA) [2] who have committed to the WHO goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to see Cargill\u2019s commitment to reduce iTFAs in all of their oils, in service of the World Health Organization\u2019s goal to phase iTFAs out of the food supply,\u201d said Ren\u00e9 Lammers, Executive Vice President and Chief Science Officer, PepsiCo. \u201cThis move aligns with PepsiCo\u2019s efforts to reduce iTFAs in our foods and is a crucial part of our pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) journey to evolve our food and beverage portfolio to be better for the planet and people. Cargill is an important part of our supply chain and we look forward to working together to continue to accelerate progress toward our iTFA goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 25 years, Cargill has removed an estimated one billion pounds (nearly 500,000 metric tons) of iTFAs from the global food supply, resulting in approximately 89% of its global edible oils portfolio already meeting the WHO\u2019s iTFA best practice. With this commitment, the company will now achieve 100% compliance, including in countries where there currently is no legislative mandate. To achieve this final 11%, the company is significantly investing in upgrades at several facilities to reduce the amount of iTFAs produced during the oil manufacturing process and leveraging decades of innovation expertise to provide food customers alternative formulations that will help them meet the WHO best practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that worldwide, improving nutrition remains a top concern,\u201d said David Webster, leader of Cargill\u2019s food ingredients and bio-industrial enterprise and chief risk officer. \u201cThis commitment aligns with our purpose to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way and gives us the opportunity as a collective industry to remove iTFAs from the global food supply no matter where food is manufactured or consumed. We know this effort will take time, and we are eager to work with customers as they take this important step.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Innovation makes reduction of<\/strong> <strong>iTFAs possible<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This commitment from Cargill builds on decades of innovation to address iTFAs, which are primarily formed through the partial hydro-<br \/>\ngenation of vegetable oils (PHO), but also can result from high thermal treatment during the refining process. While iTFA regulations are in place in approximately 40 countries, either through PHO bans or limits to maximum amounts of iTFAs in food, they remain a health concern in many locations.<\/p>\n<p>Cargill\u2019s innovation centres have made significant advancements toward reformulating alternatives to products that contain iTFAs, offering more than 300 global customers viable and safer solutions to date. These innovations demonstrate that it is not only feasible to meet the WHO best practice on iTFAs, but it can be done without discernibly changing the taste or texture of consumers\u2019 favourite foods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be part of this effort to share and apply our expertise to help food manufacturers of all sizes, across all geographies to remove iTFAs,\u201d said Jennifer Shomenta, president of Cargill\u2019s global edible oils business.<\/p>\n<p>To support the WHO\u2019s efforts, Cargill says they will also support the industry through engagement with targeted regional and national stakeholders, such as governments and oil industry federations, to support industry-wide reformulations particularly in countries<br \/>\nwhere legislation is not yet in place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\"
