I've searched the forums for an answer, but have not found anything on this. I'm finding that the breakdown of fat types within a nutrition label don't equal the total fat listed on that label. For instance, I have a label on a cookie that reads:
Total Fat: 8g
Any insights?
Total Fat: 8g
Saturated Fat: 3.5 g
Trans Fat: 0 g.
Poly and mono fats are not listed. I'm assuming that the remaining 4.5 grams of fat for this cookie consists of those fats. This seems like a logical guess, and maybe due to the common health perspective of saturated and trans fats, those are the only ones that legally need to be listed. Trans Fat: 0 g.
Any insights?
