The FDA just announced that trans fats an unhealthy ingredient that researchers have linked to heart disease risk should no longer be considered safe in food.

The new rule released Tuesday, June 16 gives food companies three years to cut the dangerous ingredient from their products. Use of these fats has already declined a lot in recent years, but some companies are slacking on cutting back.

Given that the FDA's statement says that "there is no safe level of consumption of artificial trans fat," many companies still have quite a bit of work to do.

Here's a complete list of all the food products that still contain trans fats, based on a list compiled by the Center for Science in the Public Interest:
