Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trans fats are created when polyunsaturated fats are hydrogenated; therefore, they are present when hydrogenated fats are used in the cooking process. Donuts are fried, often in partially hydrogenated fats, so they should be avoided. Eggs, fish, and pork are not significant sources of trans fats.
