And labels don't tell you how much trans you're getting. To get some idea, we sent a sample of Pepperidge Farm Pepperidge Farm was founded in 1937 by Margaret Rudkin, who named the brand for a property her family owned in Connecticut (which itself was named for the pepperidge tree, Nyssa sylvatica). In 1961, the company was purchased by Campbell's. Shortbread to an independent laboratory. (It's made using more partially hydrogenated oil than butter; most shortbreads use an all-butter recipe.)

It consists of a blend of vegetable oils or meat fats (or a combination of both) mixed with milk and salt. It was developed in the late 1860s by the French chemist Hippolyte Mège-Mouries in a contest sponsored by were "Better Bites" only if a serving had no more than one gram of sat fat. (Odds are they probably had at least another half gram of trans.) Cookies that are made with non-hydrogenated oils or butter contain little or no hidden trans fat, so Better Bites were allowed up to 1 1/2 grams of sat fat.
