Small Entity Compliance Guide: Revocation of Uses of Partially Hydrogenated Oils in Foods

Description

In theFederal Registerof August 9, 2023 (88 FR 53764), FDA (we) published a direct final rule entitled “Revocation of Uses of Partially Hydrogenated Oils in Foods” (“the final rule”). The final rule amends our regulations that provide for the use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) in food in light of our determination that PHOs are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS). We have prepared this Small Entity Compliance Guide in accordance with section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (Public Law 104-121, as amended by Public Law 110-28). This guidance document restates in plain language the revisions made in the final rule and is intended to help small entities comply with the requirements established in 21 CFR parts 161, 164, 184, and 186.
