Dare Crackers to be 0g Trans Fat

New for 2005, Dare Foods Inc., headquartered in Ontario, Canada, will release 0g trans fat versions of their popular crackers, which include: Breton (Original, Sesame, Multi-Grain, Garden Vegetable, and Reduced Fat & Sodium), Breton Minis (Original, Cheddar Cheese, and Garden Vegetable), and Cabaret.

Dare Foods already offers a variety of 0g trans fat crackers, including Vinta and Vinta Squares, crackers made with a hearty blend of eight grains and seeds, as well as Bremner Crackers made with pure sunflower oil.

Connie Sarvanandan, Dare’s Director of U.S. Marketing commented, “Our R&D department has maintained the taste integrity of all our 0g trans fat product lines. Taste tests actually show that people prefer our 0g trans fat formula. We’re thrilled that we are able to meet our loyal consumers’ demands for delicious, more healthful crackers.”

Trans fat lowers good cholesterol levels while increasing bad cholesterol levels, and has been linked to heart disease and connected with type 2 diabetes.
