All Kettle Cuisine soups are free of artificial transfats and hydrogenated oils. However, beef and dairy products have small amounts of naturally occurring trans fats, so there is naturally occurring transfat in both the Angus Steak Beef Chili and New England Clam Chowder.

For several decades, it was thought that partially hydrogenated oils–sometimes referred to as trans fats–were a healthier food choice compared with saturated fats. In recent years, data has emerged suggesting that, in fact, trans fats are not a healthier choice than saturated fats. Girl Scouts of the USA is proud to announce that all Girl Scout cookies are now "zero trans fat per serving" with the same great taste that has made them one of America's favorite treats over the years.

Processed hydrogenated oils and trans fats, normally used in commercial products to obtain longer shelf life, have been associated with cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and immune system dysfunctions, and should be avoided.

DYNEMO BARS are trans-fat free and never contain any processed oils. The healthy fats found in our bars are naturally occurring and enhance flavors, suppress appetite, and therefore aid in weight loss.

Trans fatty acids or trans fats are formed when liquid vegetable oils go through a chemical process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenated vegetable fat is used by food processors because it is solid at room temperature and has a longer shelf life. Recent research indicates that consumption of trans fats from partially hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils can play a role in the development of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other health-related issues.

In the hydrogenation process, hydrogen is added to unsaturated fat to give it more density. This process turns liquid oil into a solid fat or solid vegetable shortening. This process, however, takes away the healthy benefits of the unsaturated fat.

We are constantly working with our bakers to improve our product. As food science and technology evolves, so does the process of producing any food item including, Girl Scout cookies. All varieties of Girl Scout cookies are zero trans fat per serving according to FDA guidelines which state, "Any food item with less than .5 grams trans fat per serving are classified as "zero trans fat per serving.

No - the fat used in our sausages is not hydrogenated fat and these products do not contains any trans fat.

According to the FDA’s new trans fat regulations, all Kozy Shack® products contain zero grams trans fat.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines specify that 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 gram) 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). Likewise, if the amount of trans fats in a product is 0.75 grams per serving, the total amount would be shown as 1 gram trans fats per serving.

In order to utilize fats and oils with high percentages of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids infood processing, manufacturers must first hydrogenate these fats and oils to convert them to a more solid form for greater utility. Without hydrogenation, many vegetable oils lack the necessary stability to be used in food processing.

this time some of our products do contain partially-hydrogenated oils. We are currently exploring recipe alternatives to move away from trans-fats.

Based on informal reports from industry, the requirement to declare trans fat on product labeling is already changing consumer demand and prompting product reformulation, which was anticipated by FDA.

Fried food and bakery products in which hydrogenated vegetable oils are used as ingredients or in the cooking process are the main sources of trans fats in our diet. A low level of trans fats is found naturally in the milk and the fat of sheep and cattle (such as whole milk and butter). Examples of foods that may be produced with hydrogenated vegetable oil: margarines, shortening, crackers, chips, cookies, french fries, cakes, salad dressing, pastries, dried/powdered non-dairy creamers.

Walkers shortbread, cookies and oatcakes contain virtually no trans fats (trans fatty acids). However, low levels of trans fats naturally occur in ruminant animals such as cows and sheep and are passed on in their milk and butter. The trans fat per serving is generally zero for each of our products and is stated on each product's nutritional statement. Since authentic, high quality shortbread such as ours is made with real butter, it has these naturally occurring trans fats.

No. In fact, they never have and never will. At Kettle Foods we exclusively use expeller pressed high monounsaturated sunflower and/or safflower oil to make Kettle? brand products. Both of these oils are naturally free of trans fatty acids and are not hydrogenated in any way. We have taken the extra step of sending our products to independent third party labs to test for the presence of trans fats and results indicate we are "trans fat free" meaning none were detected.

When shopping for a margarine spread, look at the Nutrition Facts panel to make sure the one you choose has two or less grams saturated fat, no trans fat, and no cholesterol. Some popular options include products such as soft, spray or squeeze I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter® spreads, soft and squeeze varieties of Shedd’s Spread Country Crock® spreads that have no trans fats, and Promise® Buttery Spreads.

Some trans-fats occur naturally in limited amounts, mostly in dairy foods and beef. Others are created through the manufacturing process. When manufacturers process foods, they change the fatty acid chains by adding hydrogen molecules. This changes the shape of the fatty acid chain changes and creates unusual products that are not often made in nature. These changes make them stay fresher longer. Hydrogenated oils are easily handled, spread well, and store well.

The shortening in Power Crunch is the source of this and is necessary for the manufacturing of the cookie. Until very recently there were no viable options. Again, we are in the process of removing all hydrogenated oils which are the source of the trans fat as well.

Trans fats are a particular form of fat produced when manufacturers change liquid oils into solid fats like shortening and butter. These fats can be found in some of the same foods as saturated fats, such as vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods fried foods, baked goods, salad dressings, and other processed food made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

No, no and no. We actually don’t add any oil at all. And we never use hydrogenated or cholesterol-containing ingredients. Goodbaker mixes contain no dairy products, or egg products, or nuts. Most do contain soy flour, which although nutritious, is an allergen for some people. And of course they contain wheat and gluten. Goodbaker mixes do not contain nuts or nut products. Our mixes are produced on shared equipment that is occasionally used with tree nuts, but not peanuts.

No, for the moment but Codex has left this to the requirements of individual national food legislations. For consumer safety and information, however, there's a push worldwide for mandatory declaration of trans fats on food labels.

Trans fats are unsaturated fats. Trans fats are produced when hydrogen is added to oils to turn them from a liquid form into a semi-solid form. This process is called hydrogenation, and is used by food manufacturers to increase the shelf life and improve the texture of some food products.

Arnott's identified trans fatty acids (TFAs) as an issue of importance more than 10 years ago and took action then to significantly reduce the level of TFAs in their biscuits by replacing partially hydrogenated animal fats with vegetable oils. According to a World Health Organisation report, '..to promote cardiovascular health, diets should provide a very low intake of TFAs (hydrogenated oils and fats). This means an intake that is as low as possible.

LUNA bars do not contain trans fats. Because trans fats are not considered part of a healthy diet, we do not include any hydrogenated oils or animal fats (the sources of trans fats) in any LUNA products.

No, we use all natural ingredients, which means no hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated fats or oils.

No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.

Hydrogenated vegetable oils are a source of saturated fat but not trans fat. The term "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" describes a broad range of oils with varying degrees of hydrogenation or hardening. The trans fat levels in these oils vary from very little to higher amounts. As a result, some products qualify, according to FDA guidelines, for 0g trans fat per serving although they have as one of their components partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Trans fats can be found in our products and they come from two sources. Some are naturally occurring and can be found in milk, butter and natural oils and fats, others are added as part of the production process. Although scientific opinion differs, we recognise that there is a consensus emerging that high levels of consumption of trans fats could be a health concern.
