A way to double-check that there is no trans fat is by checking the ingredients list. If is says "shortening", "partially hydrogenated oils", or "hydrogenated oils", then there is trans fat in the product.

What are the elements of trans fat?
Trans fats are formed when liquid oils are hydrogenated to become solid fats.

The Nutrition Facts Panel on a label of a food states that the food contains 0 grams of trans fat. It is safe to assume that this is a trans fat free food?
Not necessarily. In the United States, a food can be labeled as containing 0 grams of trans fat if it has less than 0.5 grams per serving. This means that it is possible for the food to contain trace amounts of trans fat, so it’s important to check the ingredient list for partially hydrogenated oils, which indicate the presence of trans fats. To be completely certain it's trans fat-free, look for products specifically labeled as "trans fat free" or those that do not contain partially hydrogenated oils.
Is margarine considered a polyunsaturated fat?

However, if scrambled eggs are cooked with certain oils or butter that contain trans fats, then the dish could contain them.
Is hydrogenated lard trans fat?
No, lard is not inherently trans fat. Trans fat generally refers to hydrogenated fats developed by man-made processes to keep foodstuffs moist and tender through abnormal temperatures. Fried, processed, and some baked goods contain hydrogenated (trans) fat. Though trans fat do occur naturally in some degree (such as in dairy), the anti-trans fat push is for heavily manufactured foods.
