Do you think a locally owned family ice cream shop has trans fats in their ice cream?

If you need more description, please tell me.Do you think a locally owned family ice cream shop has trans fats in their ice cream?
Probably not. Ice cream in itself does not usually contain trans fats. Sometimes the things that are mixed with ice cream, such as chocolate chips, contain a bit of trans fats, though. Anytime you see the words 'hydrogenated' or 'partially hydrogenated' on an ingredients list, you know that the product has some trans fats in it (even if it says 0 grams on the label...that just means that there's a 'trivial' amount in a serving..however, if you eat more than one serving, the more you get). Ask if they have an ingredients list available. A shop that's locally owned probably has fresher ice cream, too. Do you think a locally owned family ice cream shop has trans fats in their ice cream?
There's absolutely no way we can answer that question. We have no idea of what type of ice cream they make, or what their recipes are. Why don't you ask them?
