So, what is gordura vegetal hidrogenada?
"Gordura vegetal hidrogenada" is a vegetable fat that is commonly used in food processing to improve texture, increase shelf life, and enhance flavor. This ingredient is produced by reacting vegetable oil with hydrogen gas, which results in a solid form at room temperature. It is a cost-effective alternative to animal fats and oils and is used in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, snacks, and confectionery products. Although it is plant-based, "gordura vegetal hidrogenada" has been linked to negative health effects due to its high trans-fatty acid content. As such, it is recommended to consume this ingredient in moderation.
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.
