Fat-free is a food-label word. It tells you the food is sold as containing no fat — fat-free milk, fat-free yogurt, a fat-free dressing. Shops and packet-writers love it because it sounds clean and careful.

Fat-free is是 a food-label word食品標籤上的字。It它 tells you告訴你 the food這食品 is sold as是以「containing no fat不含脂肪」的名義在賣——fat-free milk、fat-free yogurt、a fat-free dressing。Shops and packet-writers商店和寫包裝文案的人 love it很愛它，because因為 it sounds它聽起來 clean and careful乾淨又講究。

Though actually, ‘no fat’ on a packet is often a legal kind of ‘almost none’, not a scientist’s perfect zero: a tiny bit may still be allowed. And fat-free does not mean ‘good for you’, and it does not mean ‘no energy’. Makers often add sugar, salt, or starch so the food still tastes like something.

Though actually不過其實，on a packet包裝上的 ‘no fat’ is often常常是 a legal kind of法規意義上的 ‘almost none’「幾乎沒有」，not a scientist’s perfect zero不是科學家那種完全的零：a tiny bit一點點 may still be allowed可能仍被允許。And而且 fat-free does not mean不代表 ‘good for you’「對你好」，and it does not mean也不代表 ‘no energy’「沒有熱量」。Makers廠商 often常常 add加 sugar, salt, or starch糖、鹽或澱粉，so好讓 the food食物 still tastes like something吃起來還有點味道。

People who are watching fat will look for this word; people who are watching sugar may need to turn the packet over. It is everyday and commercial, not poetic. You can put it before a noun (fat-free yogurt) and, a little more loosely, after a verb (this yogurt is fat-free).
