I've decided to climb on the zero trans fats bandwagon,
as the evidence suggests they're lethal. Of course
many others have done the same.
Anyhow, I looked at a jar of peanut butter, the label
reads "Trans fats: 0 grams". OK
Then, the list of ingredients includes hydrogenated
vegetable oil.
What gives?

When it comes to serving size, they will round down. A food could actually
contain that which you want to avoid but a single serving has so little that
they will round down to zero. Go by the ingredients and not what it says per
serving.

size" is usually a ridiculously small amount.

down thing is kinda defunct. Foods can still have transfats
naturally, such as meat, but those aren't required to be listed
As for the OP, you missed The Wagon by about a year. EVERYBODY in
the U.S. is on the TransFats bandwagon now since they're not
supposed to exist anymore.
There is still 5 grams of transfats per pound of 80% ground beef
(less in pork, lamb, and butter), but the jury hasn't quite
determined if they're as dangerous as the manufactured transfats.
