Crystal cuts trans-fats
Crystal Cruises became the second line to promise the removal of fats from its ships, following Royal Caribbean, though the cruise line says its action is immediate rather than down the road.
The luxury line says it has now removed trans fats from the galleys on its two ships. And chefs aboard the line’s vessels have replaced all trans-fat oils with trans fat-free oils.
Crystal says changes have been made across the ships’ menus and restaurants, ranging from salad dressing to French fries.
“Crystal is proud to pioneer a trans fat-free culinary experience for our guests no matter where in the world they travel,” said Toni Neumeister, vice president, food and beverage operations.
Royal Caribbean said it would start removing menu items with trans fats on 1 March with the goal of having a trans fat-free menu by the end of the year.
Crystal said its crew galleys are also now trans fat-free as well, and will offer its crew more fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, as well as crew-only wellness classes and sporting activities.
Trans fats are found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and have been linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Crystal said the decision was made to eliminate trans fats because of growing public health concerns.
The company cited a World Health Organization recommendation that trans fats be limited to less than 1% of overall energy intake.
