What is "parkay"

Parkay is a margarine made by ConAgra Foods and introduced in 1937. It is available in spreadable, sprayable and squeezeable forms.

Parkay was made and sold by National Dairy Products Corporation from 1937 to 1995, then Nabisco Brands, Inc. from 1995 to 1999 and then ConAgra Foods, Inc. since 1999.

The product label states that the product contains 0g trans fat. Yet the ingredients listed on the package include hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils. The Food and Drug Administration allows food manufacturers to claim "0g of trans fats," so long as each serving of the product has less than half a gram of trans fat.
