I thought that by definition, vegetable oil that is solid at room temperature--any hydrogenated vegetable oil in other words--contained trans fats. The ingredients as listed on the label include fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil and partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil. Those aren't trans fats? Please help me out--I need to know what to look for when I'm reading labels (I thought I did know, but apparently not). Thanks in advance!

In January 2007, faced with the prospect of an outright ban on the sale of their product, Crisco was reformulated to meet the US FDA definition of "zero grams trans fats per serving" (that is less than one gram per tablespoon) by boosting the saturation and then cutting the resulting solid with oils.

RE:
How is it possible that Crisco shortening has "no trans fats" (as stated on its label)?

It is possible--why ruin a good thing, especially since all the cook books tell you specifically how much fat to put in, and using trans fats would mess up the recipes. Trans fats are relatively new whereas Crisco has been there since time immemorial, or since I was a kid back in the U.S.

Crisco was reformulated to remove the trans fat in the shortening. Legally they can not claim to have no trans fat if they really do.

per MSNBC, the product was reformulated to present
''less than one gram of trans fats per serving'' or some such-
rather like the news story where the lady found insect parts in her bottle of jam and complained. the manufacturer said that the bottle had less than the lower limit of bug parts, so it was OK.
I did not know that Crisco was owned by Smucker.

THAT sounds like trans fats.

It is determined by the fruit or veg involved with a comparison. If perhaps you compare a n to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. But since you compare an avocado to the carrot, then this avocado is better. Both equally the apple and avocado, are fruits.

Trans fat are partially hydrogenated. If the hydrogenation is done to completion, then it is not a trans fat.
