Who We Are

The Trans Fat Help Center Website was developed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with support from an educational grant from the American Heart Association. It was originally developed with assistance from faculty from the New York City College of Technology (CUNY), home to one of the leading professional culinary schools in the Northeast, as well as the American Heart Association, the American Institute of Baking, and other distinguished local and national experts in culinary arts and cultural food traditions.
