Consultation on saturated fats and health

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is seeking comments on the scientific content of the draft report ‘Saturated fats and health’ and its supporting documents.

In June 2014, the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) agreed to conduct a review of the evidence on the role of fats, including monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and particularly, saturated fats, in health. This had been prioritised as part of the horizon scanning process and requested by Food Standards Agency (Scotland) (now Food Standards Scotland (FSS)).

The closing date for submissions is 3 July 2018.
