Trans-Fat in food products
wrote:
If I look at a food label and it says "0% saturated fat" does that
mean that there is 0% trans-fat in that product?
Any comments will be appreciated.
No--you will not be able to discern the % of trans fats from the labels
until the new FDA labelling requirements go into effect (in, I think, 2005).
To determine whether a food has trans fats, look for hydrogenated or
partially hydrogenated vegetable oils or vegetable shortening in the
ingredient list. (These are counted as part of the %age of unsat fats).
