A brief description of the trans-fats avoidance program, policy, or practice:
Trans fats are not in any fryer oils used on campus. Anytime Cornell Dining adds a new food into our repertoire, we require it to be trans-fat free. Two years ago, we evaluated foods with trans-fats; we have been able to find transfat -free replacements on all but 10 food items out of more than 20,000 items.
