Nutrient content claims are those claims that describe the amount of a nutrient in the food (such as "sodium free" or "low fat"). These claims may not be made unless they are defined by FDA in regulations. General provisions for the use of nutrient content claims have been established in 21 CFR §101.13. Specific regulations have been issued that define the use of the terms "good source," "high," and "more" (21 CFR §101.54) and the terms "light" or "lite" (21 CFR §101.56).

Trans fat are "transitional fats" between saturated and unsaturated, and can be present in hydrogenated oils and also, to a much smaller degree, in animal products such as meat and dairy products. We are currently analyzing all our products for trans fat in anticipation of new labeling rules which will require our products to label trans fat by the year 2006.

Our tasters found virtually no difference between the two. They praised the original for its good balance between the cream filling and the cookie, its attractive smell and its familiar taste. Trying the new trans-fat-free version, they sensed only slight differences – a hint more salt and a slightly greater emphasis on the cream – but found the cookies equal in sweetness, with similar mouth-feel to the filling.

The trans fat value is now available in the PDF file "Complete Nutrition Information (Printer Friendly)" located in the nutrition section of www.subway.com.

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

We are currently evaluating some trans-fat free oils for future production, but no specific timeline regarding production has been implemented at this time. Any changes that may occur with our products will be proudly displayed on the product, as well as on our website: Nutritional Info Chart

Go to our menu web page and click “view nutrients" below the meal description. School meals even if consumed daily for the entire school year only comprise a fraction of a student's yearly intake. Therefore, please consider the nutritional content of the other meals during the day, week and over time consumed at home and out when planning a well balanced diet.

While trace amounts of trans fat are found naturally in meat and dairy products, the vast majority of trans fat in our diet is artificial. Common sources of artificial trans fat include: foods fried in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils; margarine and vegetable shortening; prepared foods such as pre-fried French fries, taco shells, and doughnuts; baked goods such as hamburger buns, pizza dough, crackers, cookies, and pies; and pre-mixed products such as pancake and hot chocolate mix.

Trans fat is the most dangerous fat. It increases LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and lowers HDL ("good") cholesterol. Based on conservative estimates, trans fat is responsible for at least 500 deaths from heart disease in New York City each year. Trans fat has no known health benefits. Unlike saturated fat, there is no safe level of artificial trans fat consumption. Evidence indicates that trans fat is even worse than saturated fat.

The proposition can use this article to advance a case about why fast foods should have labels. The opposition can examine if the dangerous nature of trans-fats should mandate a ban. Healing headquaters explains why trans-fats, a prevalent element of fried foods, are dangerous. Both sides can use this BBC article to learn about the dangers and prevalence of acrylamide. The article uses new research studies to investigate claims about the carcinogenic nature of acrylamide.

Trans fat is implicated in many deadly diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, perhaps Alzheimer's, diabetes and others. A number of studies have been conducted to determine if this substance is indeed a problem and yes, it appears to be true.

Please keep in mind that these statistics are for almond butter only and are not to be interpreted as being percentages for the entire bar itself. In other words, almost all of the fat content in the bar is from almond butter, and amounts to 11 grams of total fat. When looking at just those 11 grams of fat, the following information is true about almond butter. Almond butter itself contains: Please note that, of the fat in almond butter, only 10% is saturated.
