Total Fat

There are 3 grams of total fat, including half a gram of saturated fat, in each serving of the dip. Now this may not seem that substantial, but please keep in mind the quantity of fat is based on only two tablespoons.

If you eat more than two tablespoons, the amount of each nutrient, including fat, increases proportionately. When I pair chips or crackers with a dip, I know I tend to eat more than a couple tablespoons.

The queso dip is made with zero trans fat.
