Some companies are just more consumer oriented, and will do nice helpful things on their own. Lay's is a good example. They removed transfats years before the 2006 mandated deadline.
Soluble fiber is more useful for lowering cholesterol, IMO.
This link lists "voluntary labeling"...which seems to include fiber:

I read food labels ALOT... and I have noticed a trend with the things I buy now have potassium content listed in grams per serving.
I don't think that is mandatory either, but put on there by the food company. |
Thanks mrsD
I'll get in touch with the main companies I deal with about those products that contain higher amounts of fibers. I'm curious to know how much of that 6 grams of fiber in my soy burgers is soluble v insoluble!
