The @WHO consistently reminds us that high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases are silent threats to public health, with dietary intake, particularly industrially produced Trans Fatty Acids (iTFAs), being a major contributor.
While public health messaging advises citizens to "avoid trans fats", individual choices are not enough when ultra-processed foods and cooking oils in our markets contain high levels of hidden, dangerous fats. True prevention requires strong regulatory intervention at the source.
We call upon the @TBS_Tanzania to take decisive action to safeguard public health by:
- Setting Mandatory Regulatory Limits: Enforcing a strict, legally binding limit on industrially produced trans fats across all food products and edible oils (best practice: maximum 2g of iTFA per 100g of total fat/oil).
- Eliminating Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs): Ban the production, importation, and commercial use of PHOs, the primary source of industrial trans fats, in food processing across Tanzania.
- Ensuring Market Surveillance: Establishing robust monitoring and testing mechanisms to ensure food manufacturers and importers strictly adhere to safety standards.
Preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke starts with the food on our plates. By establishing strong regulations, TBS has the power to save thousands of Tanzanian lives and protect our health system from preventable disease burdens.

Ibara ya 18 ya Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania inatoa haki ya kutafuta, kupokea na kusambaza taarifa.
Je vijana wanatumiaje haki hii kikatiba?
Jumamosi iliyopita tuliendesha mjadala kwa kushirikiana na @humanrightstz sikiliza sauti za vijana
