If youdecrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fatcontent of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight.
