By January 1, 2006 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated that all food labels will have to show the amount of trans fat in the product. This will be listed in the Nutrition Facts section. We will be updating the Nutrition Facts section for our soup mixes as the information becomes available from the manufacturers. Nutrition Facts can be found at the end of each soup mix page. Trans fat will be listed as grams per serving. There will not be a % Daily Value listed as this has not been established by the FDA. “Low” trans fat values have also not been established so we are only listing soup mixes with no trans fat.
