Just because the food you bought is labeled “No Trans Fat”, doesn’t mean it is without the dreaded additive. If a company’s product as 0.5g or less trans fat, it is not required to say it has any in the nutritional facts.
So how do we combat this? Look at the ingredients list and see if the words “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” pop up. These words indicate the presence of trans fat. If it does, I recommend you put the food down.

Thanks for alerting us about the Trans Fat, Ryan. I was hungry for a snack and I whipped out some crackers with cheese in the middle. I looked on the back and I noticed there were 3.5 grams of Trans fat in it! I didn’t have anything else to eat, so sadly I did not take your advice and put down the food.
