Many food manufacturers have changed food preparation and processing methods in order to decrease or eliminate trans fatty acids from many foods. Con: Food manufacturers are still allowed to label foods as trans fat-free if a serving has <0.5 g trans fatty acids, and list 0 g trans fat on its label and list shortening or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil on the Nutrition Facts label. This has caused enough concern that some cities have created trans fat-free zones.
