Hey all,
Just posting this because I found it extremely strange!
The past couple of times I've been to Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping, I've been looking over nutrition labels and ingredients in comparison to name brands. This stemmed from me going down the processed junk aisles (which I hardly ever do) because I wanted to buy some sort of sweet treat that I wouldn't be tempted to eat the whole bag/box of under the condition that it not contain any hydrogenated oils, which I figured would severely limit my choices. Ginger snaps caught my eye. I picked up the Wal-Mart brand (Great Value) and I looked at the ingredients and to my shock, I found no trans fats of any sort. I picked up the name brand and found that it did contain them. Moved along to the breakfast row, my curiosity peaked, and picked up Pop-Tarts, which I knew to contain trans fats. Same thing happened. The store brand was free of them whereas the name brand had them. Onto the fruit and cream flavored oatmeals. Same deal.
Does anyone else find this extremely surprising? I would think they'd be the same or that the store brand would have worse ingredients? I'm definitely not complaining, but just found it strange.
