## Abstract

Based on the available scientific evidence and the findings of expert scientific panels, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) 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. In a declaratory order announcing our final determination, we set a compliance date of June 18, 2018. We are now extending the compliance date for certain uses of PHOs.
