The document summarizes Denmark's experience with a tax on saturated fat from 2011 to 2012. Preliminary analysis found the fat tax reduced saturated fat consumption by around 6% and generated about €160 million annually for the government. However, the tax was abolished in 2012 due to concerns about unintended consequences like substitution to cheaper unhealthy foods. While the tax had short term impacts, more research is still needed to fully assess the costs and health benefits of using economic instruments for nutrition policy.
