What it is
Ascorbyl palmitate is a form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) combined with palmitic acid, a fatty acid found in palm oil and animal fats. It is made by chemically reacting vitamin C with palmitic acid.
Why it's used
It is used as an antioxidant to prevent oils and fats in foods from becoming rancid, which helps extend shelf life. It is commonly found in processed foods that contain fats, such as snacks, baked goods, and frozen meals.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated its safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
