Trans fats are produced by the process of hydrogenation, which involves adding hydrogen to unsaturated oils to make them more solid and stable at room temperature. This process is often used by the food industry to increase the shelf life and flavor stability of products. Trans fats are not found naturally in animals, plants, or saturated fats.
