Tag: Regular fat

According to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a product labeled "reduced fat" must contain at least 25% less fat per serving than its regular counterpart. However, this simple distinction doesn't tell the whole story, as changes in one ingredient often trigger adjustments to others to maintain flavor and texture.

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.
