Trans Fats going unlabeled...

Here all products, other than imported ones, have trans fat if it exists, even if it's 0.1 g. Diet drinks also have calories, even if less than 5. For example my usual Diet 7 Up lists 1.5 calories per 100 ml (that's 4.5 calories per can - and it's from carbs if you're curious).

I don't fuss too much about trace amounts of things, though.

Edit: If it's less than 0.5 g it's not listed as such. It's listed as "trace". Same with less than 10 mg of sodium. I could not find a product with trans fat in my pantry but here is an example of how it would look like:

In Canada legally they can say a product has no transfats if the product has no transfats but if it has 0.5g or less of trans fat they can say 0 transfats, which means the product has trans fats, ironic but true. Other countries differentiate between natural and man made and very strict in the classification, which should and probably will be what happens in Canada at least, well hopefully.
