It is high in saturated fat, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil as a food ingredient, but it is not typically assigned an ADI as it is a common foodstuff. EFSA has also assessed dietary fats, including coconut oil, in the context of overall nutritional intake.
