Eat whole unprocessed foods, preferably organic. If it has any significant ingredient list, put it back onto the shelf. And avoid all wheat products.

Trans Fat to Be Banned: What This Means for Your Health

Known as partially hydrogenated oil, or PHO, one type of trans fat commonly found in commercial baked goods linked to heart disease and other health issues for years is about to be eliminated from the U.S. food supply.
...It started in 2015 when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that artificial trans fats were unsafe to eat. The agency gave the food industry three years to reformulate products and ensure an orderly transition in the marketplace.
...Starting Dec. 22, 2023, no products containing PHOs will be allowed on grocery store shelves....
...
WIND: why wasn’t it banned 20 years ago?
Trans fats are the ONLY fat for which credible evidence exists for driving heart disease.
Unsafe and here we are 8 years later and these feckless parasites waited this long to allow the profits of Big Food to run along merrily, while damaging millions. That’s how it works folks. Follow the money—the FDA works for Big Ag/Big Food/Big Pharma—not for the public.
Next up: seed oils, which turn into franken-fats when heated and/or oxidized/aged. Well, no, do NOT expect the FDA to take action there—WAY too much profit involved.
