Answer 1

Trace means there's hardly any there.

They say that 5g and below (of saturated fats) is recommended when following a healthy eating plan.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Fat is usually measured to the nearest half gram.



If it's less than half a gram, they call it 'trace'



Whether or not you count it (either rounding up to .5g or choosing not to count it) by the end of they day the difference shouldn't be more than a gram. (Assuming you don't consume a lot of products with a 'trace') the caloric differnce won't be more than 9 Calories, again assuming you consume a gram or less of fat between all of the 'traces'



In Europe, they measure the nutritional values to the tenth place quite often, and

Calories aren't rounded (in America, Calories are usually rounded to the nearest 5 or 10)-so something packaged in Europe may say it has 68 Calories (except they use kcal) whereas the same product in the USA will say it has 70 Calories. So there's not much point to counting to the exact Calorie or portion of a fat gram since our labels aren't that exact. Try just counting to the nearest fat gram and rounding your Calories



Also, if nutritional values look off, they probably are. I can't tell you how many mistakes I've found on labels!

Answer 4

Trace basically means there is just a trace amount of that ingredient in the food.



Usually less than 0.1g

Answer 7

Trace basically means none but there may be a tiny amount or a trace present.



For example. If you had 10 litres of water and added one drop of orange juice, there would be atrace of orange juice in the water, however it is so small it is irrelevant.

Answer 8

Trace means such a small amount that they cannot calculate how much is in there but have to mention it because they law states it must be mentioned and for allergy information.



Hope that helps clear it up for you.

Answer 9

Trace means a very small amount.

Answer 10

I believe that "trace" means that a certain element is present, but in a very small quantity, just enough for it's presence to be detected.

Answer 11

Trace amounts mean amounts smaller than the unit at which the item is being measured. For instance, if Iron is being measured in milligrams and there is less than one milligram of iron, it will be listed as "trace" amounts.
