Percentage contribution of main food groups to energy intake and average daily trans-fatty acid (TFA) intake of adults (aged 19–64 years) in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS 2000/01) and Years 3 and 4 of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey Rolling Programme (NDNS RP 2010/11 and 2011/12) who consumed 1 % or more of their total energy intake from TFA compared with those who consumed less

%TE, percentage of total energy; %FE, percentage of food energy; %TFA, percentage of TFA intake; TFA intake ≥1%TE is above the WHO recommended TFA limit.

Percentage contributions of TFA from food types are weighted means of the individuals’ percentage contributions.

Food groups contributing less than 0·5 % TFA to food energy in all TFA groups were not tabled.
