Partially hydrogenated oil

The main source of artificial trans fat. The FDA pulled its GRAS status in 2015 and it is no longer permitted in US food.
Industrially produced trans fat raises LDL cholesterol and lowers HDL. The FDA's 2015 final determination concluded partially hydrogenated oils are not generally recognized as safe for any use in human food. Seeing it on a current label means the product is old stock, imported, or mislabelled.
