Trans fats in sweets and bakery products will be determined according to a single standard in Kazakhstan.
On November 1, 2026, a new national standard establishing a uniform method for determining the content of trans fats in finished confectionery products and semi-finished products entered into force in Kazakhstan.
- The implementation of the standard will help increase the efficiency of the country's sanitary and epidemiological control, including when inspecting imported products. A unified method will allow for a more objective assessment of the safety of confectionery products on the Kazakh market and will help protect consumer health," noted Zhanna Yesenkova, chairperson of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the MIT RK.
