How can your product have zero trans fat and still use hydrogenated oils?
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines specify that content percentages should be rounded up if over 0.5 grams or down if under. So if the amount of trans fats is less than half a gram (0.5 grams) per serving, FDA labeling guidelines state that the Nutrition Facts label must show the total amount of trans fats per serving as zero grams (0 grams). This means that the cookies contain very small amounts (less than 0.5 g, or about 1/10 of a teaspoon) of trans fat per serving.
