When a nutrition labels states that something has 0 grams of trans fat this might not mean there are no trans fats in the food?

No. If it had no trans fat it would say so.


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.

This product's packaging advertises that it contains 0g of trans fat. Does that mean the product contains no trans fat Explain.?

In the US, no; it means the product contains less than 0.5 g of trans fat PER SERVING (if the serving size is 0.5 g, then pure lard contains 0 g trans fat). In such cases, manufacturers are allowed to round down.In practice, a lot (probably the majority) of items advertising themselves as having 0 g of trans fat really are completely free of trans fat, and possibly free of ALL fat (most sodas and many candies can legitimately advertise themselves as fat-free ... the claim is misleading, but it's not technically wrong, since their calories generally come from carbohydrates rather than fat).

What is trans fat and what is the deal that foods that have 0 grams trans fat have such an importance that food companies put 0 grams trans fat on the packaging?

Trans fats are unsaturated fats that have had hydrogen atoms forcefully added to them. This makes them then "saturated" with hydrogen. However this causes them to have an irregular shape, so the body doesn't know how to metabolize them (this is better illustrated than explained verbally). They can become incorporated into membranes and tissues in the body where other more natural fats are supposed to be. Trans fats are very dangerous and cause heart disease.Now that people know that trans fats are unhealthy, food companies have decided to brag about their product being "trans fat free" so that people will think they are healthy. However this is often deceptive marketing, as these companies are allowed to tout "0 grams of trans fat per serving" on a product even if they have 0.5 g of trans fat per serving or less. Many companies just make the serving size ridiculously small so that they can put "trans fat free" on the label. If you look in the ingredients list and see anything that says "hydrogenated" then you know that there are actually trans fats in the food. It is sneaky.This is besides the fact that just because a food is trans fat free, doesn't mean it's healthy. Simply the absence of harmful substances doesn't make a food nutritious. Nearly all trans-fat is artificially produced and added to foods (aside from some miniscule portions in some dairy products). Consuming a product just because it is trans-fat free is akin to wolfing down bon-bons because there's "no arsenic added"! Many foods are still packed with sugar, salt and high-saturated fat oils, hardly healthy ingredients. ---- My answer Like that person said before me. I can tell that person that posted before me is really smart on that subject. But anyways, yeah, your body can not use trans fat so it is useless to your body. That is why the labels say no trans fat to get you to buy their product.. I'm pretty sure if you eat too much of it though, then you have a higher risk of heart disease.
