Most of the available food composition tables have inconsistent or incomplete values. The nature of these tables (e.g. incomplete,national values) causes significant problems, especially when comparing results obtained from nutrition studies using different food composition tables. Such differences introduce errors in the estimate of nutrient intake (Ros, Martínez de Victoria, & Farran,2009). Furthermore, food composition tables are, generally, deficient in information about TFA content. Considering the importance for human health not only the amount of dietary fat consumed but also the type of dietary fat, studies on fatty acid content in processed foods are relevant. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the fatty acid profile of snacks commonly eaten by college students (18–24 years).
