Trans fats are created during the hydrogenation process, where hydrogen is added to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid and stable, which extends shelf life. This process alters the chemical structure of the fats, resulting in trans fatty acids. Trans fats can also occur naturally in small amounts in some animal products. Foods like margarine, baked goods, and fried foods often contain artificial trans fats due to this process.

Does 0 grams of trans fat guarantees that there are no trans fats in the food?

No, it does not. The FDA allows food products to be labeled 0 grams trans fat if there is less than 0.5 grams of trans fat. 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.

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.

What food have trans fat?

Many foods naturally contain trans fats such as dairy and meat products. The process of hydrogenating fats results in the formation of trans fats so products that contain hydrogenated vegetable oil have higher levels of trans fats. If the food label lists hydrogenated oil then the product will contain some level of trans fat.
