In any event, requiring it for more than .5 gram is crazy because people often consume more than 1 serving. Apparently if there is less than .5 grams of trans fat, they can round down to 0 on the nutrition label. You must check the ingredients on the label to make sure the words "Partially Hydrogenated" followed by any type of oil is not listed. The website, cuttransfat.org is "Committed to the voluntary elimination of all artificial trans fats by restaurants and the entire food industry". There are links to many articles offering differing views on the subject. It is a quality site with lots of good information. The site is also compiling a list of restaurants and food chains that are actively eliminating or reducing trans fats in their menus. Visit http://cuttransfat.org for more information.
