re: #440 SixDegrees

I’ve never seen that. Lard is pretty much as saturated as natural fat can be; I’ve never seen any with transfats added.

Here’s the label from the standby Armor Lard. No transfats at all. The same would be true for lard from your butcher - if you can locate a butcher who still renders their own.

That says “Lard and hydrogenated lard.” The trans fats are in the hydrogenated lard. Just because it says “0g trans fats per serving” doesn’t mean there’s no trans fats. Just means it’s below half a gram (or whatever they use for the cutoff) per serving, which in this case is 13 grams. If I’m not mistaken, they don’t have to put trans fats on the label at all if there are none, but they do if there’s some, even if it’s so little that it’s less than a gram per serving.
