Law Glossary
Trans fats are ingredients found in food, which can be artificial or naturally occurring. Meat and milk products may contain naturally occurring trans fats. Artificial trans fat is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil. The liquid then becomes a solid at room temperature. Research has shown that eating trans fats can be linked to cardiovascular disease. In 2015, the FDA determined that the primary source of artificial trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), are not generally regarded as safe (GRAS). PHOs are in many processed foods.

What Does “No Sugar Added” Mean?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set guidelines regarding the meaning of no sugar added. The FDA provides specific labeling requirements for the nutrient content of foods and claims about those foods. According to the FDA, when manufacturers claim a food has “no added sugars,” it cannot be processed with any sugar or sugar-containing ingredients, though it can have sugar alcohol or artificial sweeteners. Products without added sugar can contain naturally occurring sugar.
