Fully Hydrogenated Canola Oil

Low concern

Fully hydrogenated oils are distinct from partially hydrogenated oils: full hydrogenation eliminates trans fats but produces a high-saturated-fat product. FDA permits fully hydrogenated oils as GRAS; partially hydrogenated oils were removed from GRAS status in 2015.
