If the label says "Trans Fat Free" do you still need to read the label? In a word, Yes! The reason is that the product can contain partially hydrogenated oil. You can label the product as Trans Fat Free as long as a serving size has less than a half a gram of trans fat. Now if you routinely eat 2 servings of the product ( this may be as little as 2 teaspoons), you are getting more than half a gram.
I can't emphasize enough how very important it is to read the labels. You want products with no partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils in them.
