[pct-l] peanut butter

[Bill Burge]

That's the ingredients list.

The nutritional label must declare trans fats:

http://www.fda.gov/Food/LabelingNutrition/LabelClaims/NutrientContentClaims/ucm110179.htm
"II. Highlights of the Final Rule In this final rule and given the  
current state of scientific knowledge, FDA is requiring the mandatory  
declaration in the nutrition label of the amount of trans fatty acids  
present in foods, including dietary supplements. The declaration of  
this nutrient must be on a separate line immediately under the  
declaration for saturated fat but it will not include a %DV that is  
required for some of the other mandatory nutrients, such as saturated  
fat."
