Why does trans fat not have percent DV?

Answer 1

Trans fat does not have a percent Daily Value (% DV) on nutrition labels because it is not considered essential for human health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that trans fats pose health risks, particularly in relation to Heart disease, and has encouraged their elimination from the food supply. As a result, many products voluntarily omit trans fats, and the emphasis is on minimizing their intake rather than providing a percentage that could imply an acceptable level.
