Carr's biscuits (crackers) use oil instead of hydrogenated oil or shortening so they are truly 0 trans fat. I got mine at the dollar store.

It can say 0 trans fat and still have "only" a trace of trans fat. Look for partially hydrogenated oils and vegetable shortening in the ingredients.

If something had "only" a trace of dog poop in it would you still eat it?

My old brand of crackers said 0 trans fats but they contained vegetable shortening which is a trans fat (think dog poop).

my fish sticks have partially hydrogenated soybean oil (healthy dog poop?) way down at the bottom of the ingredient list. I almost missed it because they had vegetable oil listed near the top. Soybean is good, I don't understand why they had to ruin it.

Love & Prayers,
Linda
