So, what is grasas vegetales hidrogenadas?
"Grasas vegetales hidrogenadas" is a food ingredient commonly used in the manufacturing of processed foods. This type of fat is created by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil, which results in a semi-solid texture that can improve the taste and texture of products such as biscuits, cakes, and snacks. However, "grasas vegetales hidrogenadas" contain trans fats, which can increase cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. As a result, they are gradually being phased out by manufacturers seeking to provide healthier options for consumers.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
