Health notes

Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are the main source of artificial trans fat in the diet. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined in 2015 that PHOs are no longer "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) for use in human food, with a compliance date of 2018. This action was taken because artificial trans fat intake is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. As a result, most artificial trans fat has been removed from the US food supply. JECFA has evaluated trans fatty acids, noting concerns about their impact on cardiovascular health.
