I think most everyone will be hard pressed to find any trans-fat items on US grocery shelves. The Trans Fat scare from years ago made manufacturers shift their fat formulations on their products.

This Ban is just feel-good PR and meaningless.

Actually a fair amount of “snack” type foods contain hydrogenated oils ie. cookies, crackers, cakes etc.

Surprised me to see that Betty Crocker herbed mash potatoes contain it. Too bad I like those.

Now they’re finally beginning to realize that animal fats, coconut oil, peanut oil,butter, cheese all the things that they swore were so bad for us are far better than the “healthier substitutes.
