Artificial trans fats are found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils. Common sources of trans fats as ingredients in recipes include margarine, shortening and salad dressings. Look for the terms hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated and vegetable shortening on the product label of any recipe ingredients that contain fat. Butter contains saturated fat but not trans fat.
