Denmark has introduced a fat tax
Denmark targeted its attack on saturated fats, unveiling a levy of €2.41 per kilogram of saturated fat used in the production of a particular food. The effect is to levy a heavier tax on higher fat foods, such as hamburgers or butter. The tax kicks in when the saturated fat content of a food product tops 2.3%.
