Do dairy foods and ingredients contain trans fat?
Yes. But the level of trans fat in dairy foods and dairy ingredients is naturally very low. In virtually all dairy products, the amount per serving is less than the labeling threshold recently set by the Food and Drug Administration, which is 0.5 grams per serving. In product formulations using dairy ingredients, total trans fat will depend on the percentage of dairy ingredients in the formula, serving size and the trans fat contribution from all ingredients.
