Adds A Trivial Amount Of Saturated Fat

"Adds A Trivial Amount Of Saturated Fat" is a phrase used on food labels and is not an ingredient itself. It indicates that the amount of saturated fat in a single serving of the food is very small, typically less than 0.5 grams, allowing it to be rounded down to 0 grams on the Nutrition Facts panel according to FDA regulations.

This phrase is not an ingredient added by manufacturers. Instead, it is a disclosure statement used on product packaging to inform consumers about the minimal saturated fat content of the food. It is typically found on products that naturally contain very little saturated fat or where saturated fat has been largely reduced.

As "Adds A Trivial Amount Of Saturated Fat" is a descriptive statement and not a food additive, it does not have a regulatory status from bodies like the FDA, JECFA, or EFSA. The statement refers to the saturated fat content of a food product. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) advise limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
