                                Since April 2021, EU-wide legislation has restricted industrially produced trans fats to a maximum of 2g per 100g of fat in retail foods, including margarine. This has led to some consumer confusion, but the fact remains that yes, margarine is allowed in Europe, though it is subject to rigorous safety, quality, and labeling standards.
