Fats Edible: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Edible Fats, like lard and shortening, are used for cooking, baking, and frying to add flavor and texture. To make informed choices, check the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list. On the Nutrition Facts label, pay attention to Total Fat and Saturated Fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Also, look for Trans Fat. The FDA states artificial trans fats are not generally recognized as safe; aim for 0 grams. The ingredient list reveals fat sources. Lard is animal-based, while shortening often comes from vegetable oils. Be aware of "partially hydrogenated oil" in the ingredients. This term indicates artificial trans fats, even if the Nutrition Facts label shows 0g due to rounding. These details help you make choices fitting your dietary needs. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
