Nowadays most of the workers,some of them are health professionals and are aware of the health effects of trans-fats. Very few industries still adopt that.

But anyway sincerely, many manufacturers still prefer this oil for its low cost and long shelf life.

True, but a lot of countries are banning the use of industry-produced partially hydrogenated fats.

In many countries, there is already a total ban on partially hydrogenated oils (but not with fully hydrogenated oils.) in general food applications.
