FDA Expected To Announce Final Rule On Trans Fat “Any Day Now.”

“The Salt” blog that “any day now,” the Food and Drug Administration is “expected to announce a final rule that could amount to a near ban of trans fats.” Michael Jacobson, of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said, “The time is long overdue to get trans fats out of the food supply.” As a part of the new rule, the FDA “will likely revoke the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status of trans fats,” which “could pose a problem for manufacturers that still have small amounts of partially hydrogenated oils in the products they sell” by opening them up to litigation.
