This rebalancing
of ingredients can affect the
product's
shelf life, flavour, appearance, texture and other key characteristics that consumers expect for the

Food manufacturers use hydrogenated fats for making almost every
product you can think
of, since the vegetable oils that have been treated with this process have a much longer
shelf life,
remain solid at room temperature, act as flavor - enhancers and most importantly, they're very, very cheap.
