I quit there; there are others. On looking at it, the entries whose definition says "ground sirloin" have no trans fat; the rest do. Yet the cheaper cuts of beef have none, and by law, ground beef can only have some spices as additives, as I recall.

Good observation.
I double checked the first item, # 23557 from the USDA website, and sure enough, it has trans fats listed as "Fatty acids, total trans g 0.341".
So we are accurate, in the sense that we are reporting the USDA data.
The question now is why does the USDA data show transfats for ground beef? I don't know the answer, but I will try to find out. If anyone knows, please share
