I really hate the products that advertise themselves as "trans-fat free" when they clearly have "partially hydrogenated oil" on the ingredients list. Um, excuse me, don't you mean, "less than .5g of trans fat per serving?" Canada doesn't allow that, right? I know I've seen Canadian products that listed .4g of trans fats. I had someone try to tell me that "I can't believe it's not butter" is trans-fat free. Took me 3 seconds to turn the container around and show her the ingredient list that proved her wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can't_Believe_It's_Not_Butter Not that U.S. companies follow WHO recommendations, but I love to see good ones like that!
