Artificially hydrogenated
He added: “The second type of trans-formed oils is caused by partially hydrogenated oils artificially. In order to extend the shelf life, companies used to add hydrogen to the oils until they became semi-solid like butter. This is now prohibited and has not been found in the Saudi market since 2015.”
He continued: “The third type of trans fats or oils is caused by partially hydrogenated oils due to frying food in oil for a long time or reusing frying oil, and this happens in restaurants.” Pointing out that the competent authorities are launching campaigns to ensure the absence of hydrogenated oils.
He continued: “If hydrogenated oils exceed 5%, they are harmful, but all oils now on the market are not hydrogenated.” He concluded by saying: “What I am saying is that it is healthy, but it is definitely not hydrogenated, and trans-fatty oils should not be confused with hydrogenated oils.”
