Health notes
Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), a major source of artificial trans fat, are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA since 2018, effectively removing most artificial trans fat from the US food supply. Fully hydrogenated oils, which contain very little trans fat, are still permitted. Coconut oil is high in saturated fat, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake for this specific blend of oils.
Allergen info
