Is there a margarine available without trans fat?

Does anyone know if there is any margarine that is completely trans fat free? I’ve seen some that say “0g trans fat per serving” but all this really means is its less than .5g per serving. Since most of us realistically use more than that one tablespoon serving suggestion, you’re getting more than that. I’ve heard that if you check the ingredients for partially hydrogenated oils, than you’re definitely getting at least some trans fat. Is that small amount so inconsequential that I shouldn’t worry about it?

why not just use real butter? It has no trans fat.

Yes – ” Smart Balance “, and it tastes very good !

Try Earth Balance which you can get at most health food stores.

It is very good and has NO trans fat.

I always use Smart Balance. It’s like a margarine but tastes more like butter, has Omega 3 fatty acid and 0 trans fat.

That’s their site. You can look through the products they offer to make an informed decision. Since the Smart Balance has Omega 3 fatty acids, it cancels out any possible traces of trans fat.

Smart Balance is the best spread I’ve found for putting on my toast in the morning and in any recipes calling for butter or margarine. Smart Balance also has a cooking oil and other products. I hope you find one you like.

I’m with David L.

Earth Balance is by far the best tasting one in the bunch, and no trans fats. Most grocery stores carry it – though you may find it in the natural foods or health foods section.

There’s a brand of margarine that’s absolutely free of trans-fats, it’s called “Smart Balance” and other food products such as bottled oil, cooking spray, cheese slices and popcorn.
