Can someone please explain to this dummy exactly what that means?
We have two types of soy margarine available that I can find and neither of them mention those words.
Does that determine whether it is safe to use or is it just so long as it is dairy free? I'm also wondering about the fat content -both of these margarines are made from a combo of canola and vegetable oils and are about 3g fat per 5g serving.
Can anyone help me out? I want to try some of these recipes that use soy marg but am scared to.

because it means TFA's or Trans-fatty Acids....(a BAD thing).......Here is a little info about it with a neat key to finding out how much TFA's are in something when it doesn't list it.
web page
You are right to be looking for something that says non-hydrogenated, or no Saturated fats, or no Trans-Fatty Acids. But fats are fats are fats when it comes to being a potential trigger. The lower the fat, the better. If it's Dairy free it should say so, but if it contains casein or whey it is not totally dairy free. What brands were you looking at? Not being a soy person I think someone else here could give you more insite than me on those you are thinking about using.

That website was great and it explained it really well. I love the trick for finding out if there are any TFA's.
You really helped - thanks again.
