部分氫化植物油是食品中反式脂肪酸的主要來源。反式脂肪酸與人體心臟病、高血壓等多種疾病相關(guān)聯(lián)。

 

    2015年6月17日，美國(guó)FDA發(fā)布規(guī)定，將部分氫化植物油移出“通常認(rèn)為是安全的”成分清單，并制定3年的過渡期限。

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is extending the compliance date for certain uses of partially hydrogenated oils （PHOs）。 For the majority of uses of PHOs, June 18, 2018 remains the date after which manufacturers cannot add PHOs to foods. However, to allow for an orderly transition in the marketplace, the FDA is allowing more time for products produced prior to June 18, 2018 to work their way through distribution. The FDA is extending the compliance date for these foods to January 1, 2020. This action balances the health benefits of removing PHOs from the food supply with the need to provide an orderly transition in the marketplace.
