Statement by the FDA, November 7, 2013:
“We have tentatively determined that there is not a consensus that PHOs (partially hydrogenated oils), the primary dietary source of industrially-produced trans fatty acids, are safe for use in food. The fact that a substance was commonly used in food prior to 1958 is not sufficient to support continued Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status if there is no longer a scientific consensus that the substance is safe for the intended use in food.”
