I just bought a product on the net that I didn't know had hydrogenated
oils until I bought it and saw the label. It's Senseo Barista Blends
and it has a coffee creamer in it with partially hydrogenated soybean
and coconut oils. I'm trying to avoid these, but what has me confused
is that the label says "0" trans fats. I'm not sure if it has them and
it's below the 1% where it can be called "0" percent, or it doesn't.
It has a total of 2.5% fats, and 2% saturated fats.
I believe that there's an exemption below a certain
level, like a gram or half a gram or so, which allows
the manufacturer to claim zero. Because the "serving
size" for a creamer (presumably as an additive to
coffee) is so small, it would be easy to meet such
a limit.
