Biscuit Maker Spends Millions to Slash Saturated Fats

April 27, 2009: 04:03 AM EST
UK-based snack and biscuit maker United Biscuits (UB) says it has cut the saturated fat content in three of its McVitie’s brands by 50 percent, and replaced them with unsaturated fats. The project took three years, and cost $8.7 billion, said Alice Cadmen, head of strategic projects at United Biscuits. Cadmen would not disclose the exact ingredients. The UK’s Food Standards Agency is running an awareness campaign aimed at getting people to reduce the level of saturated fats in their diets, and has been working with the food industry to achieve this. UB is also working to cut saturated fats from its snack lines.
