Mcdonald's Europe cutting trans fat in food with new oils

McDonald's Corp. (MCD), which is seeking to reduce trans-fat levels in its food as part of a widespread movement toward more healthy eating styles, said its European restaurants will begin using cooking oils that cut trans-fat levels to no more than 2% of the total.
The changeover at some 6,300 restaurants, expected to be completed by mid-2008, involves switching to canola and/or sunflower oils higher in oleic acid than current frying substances.
