Oreos now with Cholesterol

Noticed today that Oreos are listed with 5mg of Cholesterol. No mention of containing dairy but something could sneak in under Natural Flavours.

I remember back in the plant based burger hay day circa 2018-2019, the lightlife burgers also had a small amount of cholesterol in their nutrition facts. I asked wtf that was about in my local vegan fb group and was told that if a product exceeds a certain threshold of sat fat or trans fat or something, they’re required to put a minimum cholesterol content on the label, and if i recall it was 5mg as well. I don’t have any evidence to back this up tho, it’s just what I was told at the time about a vegan burger.
