Federal standards require products labeled "margarine"

to contain at least 80% fat by weight,. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water° The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods,. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil..
