Calories may be calculated in different ways. We recently transitioned calorie calculation from method A to B, and since these products contain a high level of fiber, the calorie value decreases significantly. A. CALORIES = FAT x 9 + PROTEIN x 4 + TOTAL CARB X 4 B. CALORIES = FAT x 9 + PROTEIN x 4 + (TOTAL CARB - TOTAL DIETARY FIBER) X 4 + SOLUBLE FIBER X 2

Partially hydrogenated oil is not used as a primary oil in the products manufactured by Mission. It may be present in some specialty formulas or as a subcomponent in an ingredient used in specific formulas. If partially hydrogenated oil is present in a formula, it will be declared as such in the ingredient statement. Mission flour tortillas declare 0g trans fats on the packaging and the ingredients list “hydrogenated oil”. Is it really 0g trans fats? Food manufacturers are allowed to list the amount of trans fat with less than 0.5 grams (½g) as 0 (zero) on the nutrition facts panel. As a result, consumers may see a few products that list 0 grams trans fat on the label, while the ingredient list will have “shortening”, “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil”, or “hydrogenated vegetable oil” listed. This means the food contains very small amounts (less than 0.5g) of trans fat per serving. (Reference: FDA FAQ). In order to produce wheat flour tortillas and wraps with 0 grams of trans fats, we at Mission® use a blend of fully hydrogenated soybean oil plus soybean oil, which allows us to label products with 0 grams of trans fats per serving.
