ACTION: Notice; declaratory order. SUMMARY: Based on the available scientific evidence and the findings of expert scientific panels, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) has made a final determination that there is no longer a consensus among qualified experts that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which are the primary dietary source of industrially-produced trans fatty acids (IP-TFA) are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for any use in human food. This action responds, in part, to citizen petitions we received, and we base our determination on available scientific evidence and the findings of expert scientific panels establishing the health risks associated with the consumption of trans fat.

  • Trans-Fats. Partial Hydrogenation the World Is Watching the US FDA

Partial hydrogenation The world is watching the US FDA Access February 2014 Geoffrey Cannon Inspiration on Fred Kummerow here Access February 2014 Fred Kummerow Feedback letter here Fred Kummerow, the man in blue (left), is sueing the US FDA, specifically the women with the red background (right), Margaret Hamburg and her boss in the Obama cabinet Kathleen Sebelius From Fred A Kummerow: The US Food and Drug Administration has given the food manufacturing industry another 60 days to respond to their intention to withdraw the classification ‘generally recognised as safe’ from trans-fats. The comment period that was scheduled to end 7 January 2014 has been extended to 8 March at 11:59 pm, US East Coast time. If and when this action is at last taken, trans-fats will in due course effectively be eliminated from the US food supply. As stated in my previous WN letter, last August I filed a lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration (1,2), specifically addressing FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg and her boss the Department of Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius (right hand picture, above). This states that the FDA’s failure to ban the use of partially hydrogenated oils containing artificial trans fat in food for human consumption, is unlawful. This is not a matter for the food product manufacturing industry. The prime duty of the FDA is to protect public health.
