In plain English
The FDA bans all partially hydrogenated oils (artificial trans fats) from the U.S. food supply, eliminating this ingredient from all commercial foods since late 2023. Food manufacturers and distributors must verify immediately that none of their products or ingredient suppliers contain these oils, as using them now violates federal food safety rules.
