What is the difference between trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils?

Question:

I see products that now say "No Trans Fats", but they have partially hydrogenated oils in them..I thought these were the same thing. Examples include Post cereals and various tortillas and tortilla chips.
Answers:
I've been wondering the same thing.

"items that list partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients but contain less than 0.5g of trans fats are considered by the government to be trans-fat free. "

Other Answers:
Partially hydrogenated oils will dygest into trans fatty acids but in labeling they can say there is no trans fats becuase they are not yet digested.
