fat-free
Lacking any grease
Fat-free describes food containing no fat, or negligible amounts per serving.
The term became ubiquitous in the 1990s when dietary fat was blamed for obesity and heart disease: fat-free yogurt, fat-free salad dressing.
Fat-free products often compensate with added sugar.
The term applies literally to anything without fat content.
