Non-Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils
Also known as: non hydrogenated vegetable oil
Non-hydrogenated vegetable oils avoid industrial trans fats but the umbrella term hides which specific oil is used; some (palm, soybean) raise saturated fat or omega-6 intake concerns. FDA banned partially hydrogenated oils in 2018, making non-hydrogenated formulations standard.
