- May Have Trans fatTrans fat is generated when Polyunsaturated Fat based oil is heated in presence of moisture at high temperature for long duration.Increasing awareness about ill effects of Trans Fat and Food Laws, have resulted in many of the food manufacturing companies changing oil and cooking method to make their products Trans Fat Free.The Indian Food Law allows products with less 0.2 grams per serving size to claim Trans Fat Free. Companies may use the trans fat law to their advantage by reducing the serving size to be within the criteria for calling their products Trans Fat Free.Look at the ingredient and nutrition label of Baked and Fried food packages carefully, they are expected to have Trans Fat.A Food product package that lists ʺhydrogenated oilʺ or "partially hydrogenated oil" may have Trans Fat. Sometimes the terms ʺhydrogenatedʺ and ʺpartially hydrogenatedʺ are used interchangeably.Thus, always check the product label. Take note of the serving size and also of terms such as - 'hydrogenated oil', 'partially hydrogenated oil' , 'vegetable shortening' , ‘ Bakery shortening’, 'margarine' ,'edible vegetable fat' . These are synonyms for presence of trans fats.
