    Economy News - Baghdad
    The Ministry of Agriculture called on Sunday for strict implementation of the Cabinet decision to ban the import and confiscation of "industrial fats", while warning of health risks if they are used in the food industry.
    The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mahdi Sahar Al-Jubouri, said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Ministry of Agriculture confirms the ban on the import of any types of fats and stresses the importance of the role of the security agencies in the Ministry of Interior and the National Security Service in monitoring the entry of any smuggled food items that are prohibited from entering Iraq to preserve the health and safety of citizens, in addition to the importance of the role of the Border Ports Authority in preventing the entry of food commodities entering through unofficial means."
    In turn, the Director General of the Veterinary Department at the Ministry, Thamer Habib Hamza Al-Khafaji, confirmed in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "animal fats are prepared for food and are used in food industries and have technical and health conditions and an Iraqi standard specification numbered 452", indicating that "when the fats expire, they turn into industrial fats that are used in soap, shampoo and powder industries, and their use in food has health risks."
    He added, "To avoid the use of industrial animal fats as food animal fats, the Ministry of Agriculture requested, in its letter No. 34068 dated September 15, 2015, to ban the import of industrial fats, and they were banned from importing in accordance with the letter of the Council of Ministers / Economic Affairs Committee No. SL / 571 dated October 8, 2015," noting that "the process of importing industrial fats is done through smuggling and falls under commercial fraud and involves great risks to human health when used in food."
    Doctors confirm that the use of artificial fats (trans fats) in food causes heart attacks, strokes, and type 2 diabetes, and also affects cholesterol levels in the blood.
