harmful substances in fats / fat contamination
Explanation:
Without any more context, this is my best suggestion. If the "Schadstoffe" are entering the fats in a certain way, rather than being there naturally, you may want to go with "fat contamination".
I found this article on palm oil contamination. You are best looking at the rest of your article to work out the direction they're coming from in the text.
Hope it helps.
