Whole Foods 365 Veg Broth FAT LIES

Oh you can never trust labels...  Whole Foods, while I've shopped at nearly every single one of your stores and spend a fortune on you and thank the world for you existence & even won your 30year Bday Essay contest you continue to let me down...  Its not enough that prepared foods vegan items from time to time aren't vegan, or Healthy Starts Here items are not healthy and oil-free items are covered in oil or fat, I can understand that prepared foods workers have a lot on their hands and know how long it took me to become a healthy vegan and understand what that means and can't expect people handling all sorts of varying health mantras to not slip up or fail to understand.  However, for packaged goods I'd like to expect that someone exists who firmly understands allergies & health consequences of incorrect labeling...
My friends does that look like a *trivial amount of fat???? It certainly doesn't look like FAT FREE or Total Fat 0g, that is a LOAD OF FAT GREASY OIL!!!
Dear Whole Foods, please REMOVE the Fat Free label from this product and the *ADDS A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF FAT PER SERVING.  I estimate that 75%+ of the calories from this Veg Broth are from FAT!  You need to reexamine the nutritional information, this is really upsetting.

For everyone who reads the books in the Whole Foods Health Starts Here sections and understands how poisonous oil is to the human body (endothelial cells, obesity, cancer, heart disease, etc) an easy tip to tell if any item has oil is to take a small bit of it and dunk it in your water glass, oil always floats to the surface.  If you'd like to be a little more polite at the dinner table, you can pour a little water on your plate and tip your plate slightly to see if you can spot the oil bubbles.

This is horrible news! Do you have any suggestions for a better broth alternative?

Just did a post today on olive oil, btw: http://bit.ly/XZA8Gz

TJ's & Pacifica I think is the other brand with no oil. Just pour the veggie broth in first to make sure there is no oily sheen

I know, right? Imagine my shock when I had to look for OIL in vegetable broth!

@jeff. Swanson veggie broth has no oil as well.
