The Culinary Products and Margarine Industrials Producers Association (MÜMSAD) was established in 2004 and boasts 15 member companies including Unilever, Dogadan Ulker, Marsan, Turyag and Kucukbay.

Culinary products produced by the collective include soup, bullion and powder sweets.

One of MÜMSAD’s main aims are to unite members of the industry and set required standards.

Dispelling margarine myths

In 2008, MÜMSAD kicked off a campaign, the '7 facts of margarine', in response to the beliefs that margarines cause high levels of cholesterol, include trans fats and are made of animal fats.

Due to these unfounded rumours, margarine consumption has been decreased year by year.

Through the campaign, MÜMSAD looks to inform people that:
• Margarines are made of vegetable oil
• Margarines do not contain cholesterol
• Margarines do not contain trans oils
• Margarines contribute to diet diversity
• Margarines contain Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils
• Margarines contain vitamins A and D 
• Margarines are valuable sources of energy
