FEDIOL welcomed the release of the EU Protein Plan setting the ambitious target of increasing from 25% in 2025 to 35% in 2035 the amount of protein from #oilseeds and #protein #crops. However, we stress the need for policy coherence when it comes to EU protein self-sufficiency. ✍ shorturl.at/lsrhJ

For bottled vegetable oils, you’ll find a "best-before" date on the label ✅ 💡 After this date, you can still use it! Just check for changes in look, smell, or taste. This helps us eat responsibly and reduce waste at home! 📣 Find more #Mythbusting ℹ️👉 bit.ly/3H0WnIU #VegetableOil #FoodWaste

⏳ Myth 4: Vegetable oil has no expiry date. 🤔 This one can be confusing! Let's clarify the difference between a "use-by" date and a "best before" date. A thread 🧵 #Mythbusters #FEDIOL #NutritionLabelling

FEDIOL_EU @fediol.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

The takeaway? Don't skip fats! 🚫 👉 Cutting out fats can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Instead, focus on a balanced diet with healthy, plant-based unsaturated fats 👍 For more info, visit www.vegetableoils.eu/home #HealthBenefits

Our industry's #vegetableoils actually provide powerful benefits 💪 🧬 Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) helps maintain normal cholesterol. ✨ Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress. 🙌 Both are @EFSA_EU-approved health claims. #FoodSafety #HealthyFats

FEDIOL_EU @fediol.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

So, what about weight gain? 🧐 👉 Weight gain is about overall calorie intake, not just fats. The 🗝️ is to choose the right kind of fats, like healthy unsaturated fats from plant-based liquid oils, over saturated fats. #NutritionFacts #DietaryGuidelines

FEDIOL_EU @fediol.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Fact: Fats and oils are essential for your health. 💡 The EFSA and WHO recommend that 20-35% of your daily energy comes from fats. They help with: ✅ Energy ✅ Vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K) ✅ Hormone production #Nutrition #EFSA #WHO

🧠 Did you know #Omega3 and #Omega6 fatty acids are "essential"? Your body needs them but can't produce them, so you get them from food! Sources include: 🌱 Omega-3: #Rapeseed, #soybean, #linseed 🌱 Omega-6: #Sunflower seed, soybean #PUFA #MUFA #HealthBenefits

Although all refined vegetable oils and fats have a similar neutral colour, they have very different properties, due to their natural composition. But they all contain fatty acids: #SAFA, #MUFA, & #PUFA. 👉 Saturated fats are typically solid at room 🌡️while unsaturated ones are liquid.

FEDIOL_EU @fediol.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

⚠️ Fact: Oils don't look the same! 🎨 The color of an oil depends on its plant source & if it's refined. Refining gives oils a neutral color, while unrefined oils can be green or dark yellow. #FoodFacts #NutritionFacts #FoodScience
