Health notes

Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) were once a common source of artificial trans fat. The FDA determined that PHOs are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in human food, and their use has been largely phased out since 2018, removing most artificial trans fat from the food supply. Fully hydrogenated oils, however, do not contain trans fats and are still permitted by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated hydrogenated oils and set an acceptable daily intake.
