The proposal also would create a huge problem for national chains. Among the fast foods that would need to get an overhaul or face a ban: McDonald?s french fries, Kentucky Fried Chicken and several varieties of Dunkin? Donuts

Wendy?s announced in August that it had switched to a new cooking oil that contains no trans fatty acids. Crisco now sells a shortening that contains zero trans fats. Frito-Lay removed trans fats from its Doritos and Cheetos. Kraft?s took trans fats out of Oreos.
