Burger King trans fat lawsuit dismissed
December 21, 2008
MIAMI — Burger King Corp. has announced that Washington, D.C., Superior Court has dismissed the trans fats lawsuit brought by the Center for Science in the Public Interest against the company. The court agreed with BKC that CSPI had no legal standing to sue the company because CSPI had not met the basic legal requirement of alleging that someone was actually harmed by trans fats.
Since October 2008, all Burger King restaurants have been cooking with trans fat-free cooking oils. Additionally, all Burger King menu ingredients contain zero grams of artificial trans fat, including ingredients used in baked goods, par-fried and pre-portioned menu items. Removing artificial trans fats from all Burger King restaurants' cooking oils and ingredients is another initiative in the company's BK Positive Steps nutrition program
