Filled wafers and the wafers are popular treats children and not reject them or adults. However, it is good to know that a third of the weight of the food consists of fat. In the current test, the consumer magazine dTest focused on the quality of the fat content of these products. Laboratory analysis showed that ten out of the 27 tested wafers and tubes contain fat, which is the high proportion of harmful trans-fatty acids not in countries with stricter legislation in food production use. In addition, most products of fat also prevalent health problem saturated fatty acids.
Physicians ago transmastnými fats in food warning due to adverse effects on health.

In this regard, the lowest rated test wafers with hazelnut filling Katy in the dark glaze made for Kaufland Praha Czech Republic, in which the fat had almost 5.8 percent trans fatty acids.
Not very encouraging results of the analysis of fats to saturated fatty acids, which also harms blood vessels.
