What is Fully Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil?

Health notes
Fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Unlike partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which were removed from GRAS status in 2018 due to their artificial trans fat content, fully hydrogenated oils contain negligible amounts of trans fats. JECFA has evaluated hydrogenated oils and has not raised specific safety concerns regarding fully hydrogenated oils.
