According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a product labeled "fat-free" is legally required to contain less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving. In contrast, regular, or full-fat, products contain all of their naturally occurring fat, without any reduction or removal. The distinction goes beyond just the fat content, impacting everything from nutrient density to the additives used to maintain flavor and texture.
