Is it true that under US FDA labeling rules, a food containing less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving may be labeled as having 0 grams of trans fat?
Yes. One peer-reviewed paper states directly that under the 2003 FDA trans fat labeling rule, products containing less than 0.5 g of trans fatty acid per serving may be declared as zero, and a second paper confirms the 0.5 g per-serving threshold for mandatory declaration.
