Which of the following may contain trans fatty acids?

A.

Butter

B.

Olive oil

C.

Store bought cake

D.

Avocado pit

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Butter:

Butter contains saturated fats, but naturally occurring trans fats are minimal. Most concerns about trans fats focus on artificial trans fats, not the tiny amounts in butter.

B. Olive oil:

Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fat and does not contain trans fats. It is considered a heart-healthy fat.

C. Store bought cake:

Processed baked goods like store-bought cake may contain artificial trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils) to extend shelf life and texture.

D. Avocado pit:

The pit (seed) of an avocado is not typically consumed and is not a source of dietary fat. Even the avocado flesh, while high in fat, contains monounsaturated fats, not trans fats.
