Fediol Launches Dedicated Website Focusing on Health, Nutritional Benefits of Vegetable Oils and Fats

The European Union (EU) seed crushers and oil processors’ federation (FEDIOL) launched on December 12 in Brussels the “Facts on vegetable oils” website outlining the health and nutritional benefits of vegetable oils and fats, Euroactive reported last December 12.  FEDIOL represents the interests of the European vegetable oil and protein meal industry with over 180 facilities in Europe.

Designed to inform, the website contains easy, updated, and detailed information, about vegetable oils and fats: their characteristics, their role in healthy diets, their EU labeling, their health benefits, and other useful information enabling improved food consumption choices.  It also contains a section on how vegetable oils and fats are perceived in national and international dietary guidelines.

This is one of the numerous FEDIOL actions to implement the EU Code of Conduct on responsible food business and marketing practice, launched by the European Commission under the European Green Deal and signed up by FEDIOL in June 2021.  FEDIOL remains committed to keep this new informative tool up-to-date and continues its efforts to meet and implement the strategic objectives subscribed in the EU Code of Conduct.
