Health

As a manufacturer of high-quality fats and oils, we are well aware of the responsibility we have taken over for the people using our products. This is why our product development not only focuses on functionality but also on well-balanced products in terms of nutritional physiology. From the selection of raw materials to meticulous quality control to careful processing we adjust our work to the latest research results in nutritional science.

Walter Rau expressly commits to the values and objectives of the World Health Organization (WHO), whose latest guidelines explicitly demand a reduction of trans fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and the share of fat in daily nutrition in order to prevent impairments to health.

Moreover, we participate in elaborating guidelines, e.g. for the minimisation of trans fatty acids – a joint initiative of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) and the German Federation for Food Law and Food Science (BLL). Beyond that, we play an active part in research projects of the Research Association of the German Food Industry (FEI) and shed light upon a healthy diet with fats through lecture events at our customers and at institutes.
