No trans fat???

[TheSomeone]

My peanut butter jar says "No trans fat!" on the front, but in the ingredients I see "partially hydrogenated oils" which is trans fat.

Explain?

That's funny. It sounds like they cheated.

I guess you could switch to natural peanut butter, which contains no trans fat at all. It doesn't taste as good though.

I suddenly have a craving for a peanut butter and banana sandwich. :frog:

Under FDA regulations "if the serving contains less than 0.5 gram [of trans fat], the content, when declared, shall be expressed as zero."

What the hell is trans fat though?

Heh, you can never be too sure with ingredient labels.

Wow, I just realized this is on my nutella too, but not advertised on the front. Instead, it just says 0 trans gram fat in the nutrition label, but still contains partially hydrogenated oils.

Partially hydrogenated oils.


I gave the call to the FDA and they said they would call me back.
