You can use the fat free claim as a guide, but often labels making this sort of claim are no better than a similar product with no claim! So, the best thing to do is look at the actual fat/sugar/salt content in grams per 100 gram, and compare this to the recommended amounts. See: http://www.dietriffic.com/2007/04/14/the-lowdown-on-food-labels/ for more info! Hi Kyle and Glenn – yes that’s right!
