No.
It may contain up to 1/2 gram fat in the USA.  Almost all vegetables, fruits and the like contain fat without anything being added.  It is needed for us to survive.  A true fat free diet would not be good for anyones health.

fat free just means it has less than .5g fat, so they can write 0g per the nutritional labeling requirements
