Why do nutrition labels of foods that contain partially hydrogenated oils state !


Question:

Why do nutrition labels of foods that contain partially hydrogenated oils state the food has zero trans-fats?

I thought that trans-fats are in partially hydrogenated oils, and I see lots of products list these oils as an ingredient, but I have never seen a nutrition label that states anything other than zero grams of trans-fats for those products. What's up with that?


Answers:

There is a law that states that if the food has less than 1 gram of trans fats, the company is not required to list the amount.
