Prohibitions on Trans Fats.

I'm pretty sure Denmark has a ban on trans fats. I don't have a source handy at the moment, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.116.41.95 (talk) 08:26, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Denmark has strict control of trans fats and keeps them at trace levels. You can't 'ban' trans fats without banning red meat, all dairy products, and a host of other foods. However you can ban the use of 'artificial trans fats,' like hydrogenated oils. Xeroxtraum (talk) 06:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the main example is a bad one

the example of ranch dressing as a shelf stable food is bound to mislead many people, because while they are talking about prepared ranch dressing, ranch dressing can also be bought as a dried powder that you add to sour cream. A much better example wood be cans of tuna fish or something more easily recognizable as perishable food. 97.91.176.159 (talk) 22:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
