You pick up a box of food at the store, and it says "NO Transfats!", but the ingredients list shows "Hydrogenated vegetable oil". How is that possible?

How can New York City outlaw something that occurs naturally in foods?
Only nerds would read the ingredients on a box of food
Maybe it is partially hydrogenated
That depends on the meaning of the word "NO"
They lied.
The rules say they can say "NO transfats" if it is only a little bit
I didn't know transfats occur naturally in food
I haven't got a clue
There is a new process to make hydrogenated vegetable oil that doesn't create Transfats
They made the "serving size" very small to make the transfat per serving close to zero
They can say that if the product contains any natural transfats
They diluted the hydrogenated oil with other saturated oils to get it below the labeling limit
