Rasvaton

Rasvaton is a Finnish word that translates to "fat-free" or "lean" in English. It is commonly used in the context of food products, particularly dairy items like milk, yogurt, and cheese. When a product is labeled as rasvaton, it signifies that it contains a minimal amount of fat, typically less than 0.5% or 1% depending on the specific product category and regulations.

The use of the term "rasvaton" is regulated to ensure consumers are accurately informed about the fat content of the food they purchase. Products designated as rasvaton are often chosen by individuals seeking to reduce their dietary fat intake for health or weight management reasons. In Finland, the availability of rasvaton alternatives is widespread across supermarkets and grocery stores, catering to a demand for lighter options in everyday food consumption. The concept extends beyond dairy; while less common, it can sometimes be applied to other food items to indicate a lack of added fats.
