Health notes
In the United States, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food since 2018. This change was implemented because PHOs are the primary source of artificial trans fat in the diet. The FDA determined that artificial trans fat is not safe for use in food, citing concerns about its impact on heart health.
