Is cocoa butter substitute trans fat?
Cocoa butter substitutes are not trans fats. Cocoa butter substitutes may contain trans fatty acids, which are different from natural cocoa butter and may have adverse effects on the body.

Cocoa butter substitute, abbreviated as CBR, is an artificial stearin that can melt quickly. Its triglyceride composition is completely different from that of natural cocoa butter, but its physical properties are close to that of natural cocoa butter. Because there is no need to adjust the temperature when making chocolate, it is also called non-adjustable stearic acid, which is also different from cocoa butter. Different types of raw oil can be used for processing, which can be divided into lauric stearate and non-lauric stearate.
