Under increasingly stringent regulation, what does the future hold for hydrogenated oils? - A Review of Relevant Regulations Across Countries/Regions
In August 2025, an evaluation report titled "Multiple Milk Tea Brands Found to Contain Trans Fatty Acids" brought certain new tea beverage brands into the spotlight of public opinion. The discrepancy between the "Zero Trans Fat" labeling claims and actual test results triggered widespread consumer anxiety about "hidden trans fats" in food. In fact, as early as 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) had called for the global elimination of industrially produced trans fatty acids. As the primary source of industrial trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) have become a focal point of global regulation.

U.S. FDA Adopts a New Approach to the "No Artificial Colors" Claim on Food Labels
On February 5, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new approach to the "no artificial colors" claim on food labels, requiring U.S. foods to transition from the use of artificial petroleum-based colors to natural colorants. If a food does not contain petroleum-based colors, the relevant company may label the product as "no artificial colors." In the past, however, companies were generally allowed to use such claims on food labels only when no color additives of any kind were added, regardless of whether their source was natural or otherwise. "The FDA is moving companies away from petroleum-based synthetic colors and toward safer, naturally derived alternatives."

EU Updates Rules on the Use and Quality Specifications of Seven Common Food Thickeners/Stabilizers
On 28 January 2026, the European Commission adopted Regulation (EU) 2026/196. Based on the latest scientific assessments of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the Regulation introduces significant updates to the conditions of use and product quality specifications for seven commonly used food thickeners/stabilizers (all hydrocolloids).
