Why does the fat in the Becel nutritional panel not add up to 8.0 g?
A When you add up the polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated fat and trans fatty acids in a non-hydrogenated margarine, the sum comes to 7.6 g, which is only 95% of the total fat. The other 5% (0.4 g) is glycerol, a natural component that holds the polyunsaturates, monounsaturates, and saturates together to form the fat. The glycerol is not a fat.
