Title: ●Rule to Revoke Uses of Partially Hydrogenated Oils in Foods | |
Abstract:
In the Federal Register of June 17, 2015 (80 FR 34650), we published a declaratory order announcing our final determination that there is no longer a consensus among qualified experts that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for any use in human food. In the Federal Register of May 21, 2018 (83 FR 23382), we denied a food additive petition requesting that the food additive regulations be amended to provide for the safe use of PHOs in certain food applications. We are now proposing to update our regulations to remove all mention of partially hydrogenated oils and to revoke all prior sanctioned uses. This rulemaking implements FDA’s findings that the available data demonstrate that PHOs used in food may cause the food to be unsafe. |
