• the trans fat content in vegetable oil and soft, spreadable margarine must not exceed 2% for the total fat content
• for all other food, beverages and ingredients, the trans fat content must not exceed 5% of the total fat content

The trans fat limits apply to all food and beverages sold in elementary and secondary schools for school purposes but do not apply to food that students bring from home.
The regulation states that a school principal may designate up to 10 school-wide special event days per year when food and beverages sold in the school would be exempt from the trans fat prohibition.
