PHOs Are No Longer Considered GRAS
Both the US FDA and Health Canada are working towards reducing trans fats from the food supply by banning the use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs).

FAQ
Q: Can I create a Nutrition Facts Label from a Single Ingredient?
A: Yes! There are some cases where you may want to view the Nutrition Facts Panel for an individual Ingredient from the database. To do so, you will create a Recipe and add the Ingredient to the Recipe as one serving of the Ingredient.
