How is it possible for some types of half-and-half to be labeled as being “fat-free”?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Food manufacturers produce a fat-free alternative to real half-and-half by adding a thickening agent called carrageen (made from seaweed) to skim milk. A typical serving (2 tablespoons) of fat-free half-and-half has about 20 kcal, whereas real half-and-half has about 40 kcal.
