vegetable shortening (interesterified and hydrogenated soybean oils)

Concerning · 3/10, higher is cleaner

How we reached this

Hydrogenated/interesterified vegetable oil blend — historically partially hydrogenated soybean oil (trans fat); post-2018 FDA ban, manufacturers switched to fully hydrogenated + interesterified blends. AHA strongly discourages all forms due to saturated fat density + metabolic effects of interesterified fats.
