IMPORTED PASTRIES CONTAIN MORE TRANS FAT THAN S.KOREAN PRODUCTS.
SEOUL, August 1 Asia Pulse - Imported baking mixtures and half-made pastries contain 10 times more trans fat on average than those made with local ingredients, a South Korean government report said Tuesday.
The findings based on the screening of 183 different pastries made by 27 large-scale bakeries in May and July, showed trans fat in foreign ingredients standing at around 3 grams per 100 grams of baking materials, the Korea Food and Drug Administration said.
Large scale bakeries such as Shilla Bakery, Tous Les Jours and Paris Baguette were checked in the latest screening.
The finding is far higher than the average of 0.3 grams found in breads, cookies and cakes baked with local ingredients.
