Something to keep in mind, and I've found that a lot of people aren't aware of this...

If the amount of something is less than 0.5g per serving, the FDA allows companies to round the amount down to zero. When checking to see if an item has trans fats in it, check the ingredients. If you see the word "hydrogenated" anywhere in there, then it's got trans fats. Hydrogenated oils are trans fats, but often the quantities per serving are so low that the package will proclaim that there's "0g" which, sadly enough, isn't the same as "zero" in this case.
