Trans fat/partially hydrogenated oils question

I know that trans fat is bad for you, and that many nutritionists recommend eating absolutely none at all. I know that before the nutrition labels changed to say how much trans fat is in something, you could tell by checking out if there were partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredient list. I also know that something can be listed as fat free if it has less than 0.5g of fat per serving.

So my question is, if a product says that it has 0g trans fat in the nutrition table, but it still lists partially hydrogenated oil in the ingredients, should I avoid it? Might it have some small amount of trans fat in it still?
