Governements are forcing new labeling guidelines because of a new awareness of the danger of trans fat. Companies are not going to want to indicate the presence of transfat on their products. Might as well stamp a big DO NOT BUY ME. So I predict they will work on replacing transfat with something else. The big problem is with what. It's sad that saturated fat is still considered to be evil, because replacing hydrogenated oil with naturally solid vegetable oil, such as coconut oil would be the obvious solution.
