Did Crisco change their recipe to exclude hydrogenated oils?!


Question: Did Crisco change their recipe to exclude hydrogenated oils!?
I'm confused !.!.!. I heard that they did, for a new, trans-fat recipe, but when I look at their website, the ingredients list says "fully hydrogenated palm oil" on the Crisco sticks product!. Anyone have it in their cupboard!? =)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I think what a lot of manufacturers have done is actually change the portion size!. If there is under a certain amount of trans-fats per serving the packaging can say 0 trans-fat per serving!. If you eat more than the 1 serving you are consuming a large enough portion of trans-fat that it should be taken into account!.
My package of Oreo cookies say 0 trans fat per serving!. 1 serving is 2 cookies--have you ever eaten JUST 2 Oreos!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
