On a food label, "fat" refers to the total amount of fat contained in the product, usually measured in grams. It can include different types of fats, such as saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats. Understanding the fat content helps consumers make informed dietary choices, as some fats are healthier than others. Additionally, fat contributes to the overall calorie content of the food.
