Total Fat

Each serving of two tablespoons contains three grams of total fat, including half a gram of saturated fat.

This may seem insubstantial, but please keep in mind the quantity of fat is based on a measured serving size of 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.
