5.4 "Fat Free" claims on labels
In the U.S, food can be labeled "fat free" and listed as having 0
grams of fat if the actual fat content is less than 0.5 grams.
This is how foods can have oil or high-fat ingredients listed in
their ingredients yet claim to have only 0 grams of fat. See below
for more information on the labeling law in the US.
