Modern margarine has fortunately solved the trans fat issue.

This is still happening to this day. The last time my co-op made a bulk order of margarine (which vegans eat instead of butter), the boxes had a brand-new whimsical design, and they had changed the name of the product on the front from "margarine" to "plant butter."
The new packaging of Country Crock margarine, which the company is now calling "Plant Butter" to better convince vegetarians and vegans to buy it, even though it's the same ol' oil-based margarine it's always been.
