A brief description of the trans-fats avoidance program, policy, or practice:
At NAIT Food Services, all fryer and cooking oil are trans fat free. It is our purchasing practice to look for oil based products that are low fat or trans fat free. All of our salad dressings are low fat and trans fat free. Our Procurement Department negotiates contracts which our operations adhere to ensure consistency of product across all of our sites. Food Services has communicated its goal to be a trans fat free facility to our vendors and as such vendors actively look for products that meet that criteria.
