A recent Tootsie Roll class action lawsuit claims that the candy products contained undisclosed trans fat in the form of partially hydrogenated oil. The plaintiff argues that Tootsie Industries, which manufacturers Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Pops, failed to disclose that they used partially hydrogenated oil in the making of their chocolate candy products between Jan. 1, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2016. In June 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reportedly declared partially hydrogenated oil to be unsafe for the use in food. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this issue with Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions.
