Seed oils

Hydrogenated vegetable oil

Vegetable oil the label describes as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, source still unnamed.

Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice

What the label is naming

Partially hydrogenated and hydrogenated vegetable oils are seed-oil phrases with a processing word attached. When the label instead says hydrogenated soybean oil, the soybean oil entry takes the longer match so the explanation names the seed. This entry is the unnamed version.

Where it hides

Older peanut-butter spreads, frosting, pie crusts, and shelf-stable cookies. Fully hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated both match. The catalog does not estimate trans fat from the word.

What if it says hydrogenated soybean oil?
