“By the time we hold the Olympics in 2010, we want every British Columbian and every visitor to our province to know the food they order in restaurants or eat at schools is trans fat-free,” said Mary Polak, B.C. Minister of Healthy Living and Sport.

All food service establishments that require a permit to operate a food service in B.C. must comply with the new regulation by Sept. 30, 2009.

This includes restaurants, delis, cafeterias, educational institutions, health care institutions, schools, special events, and bakeries. Packaged foods sold directly to the consumer that have a federally-approved Nutrition Facts Table on the package are exempt from the regulation. See CTV article
