ICEIH is powered by the efforts of student volunteers. They gathered in the fall of 2006 and began to survey Madison restaurants door-to-door.

The Madison Trans Fat Reduction Project is an organized effort by the University of Wisconsin-Madison student organization Informed Consumers Equal Improved Health to reduce the amount of trans fat in Madison, WI area restaurants through the creation of a two-tier award system designed to promote restaurants that either do not cook in partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat) or do not use any trans fat in their establishment as a whole.
