What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It is produced by pressing the flesh of the fruit. It is one of the most widely used vegetable oils in the world.

Why it's used

Palm oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods due to its texture and stability. It functions as a fat or oil, providing richness and a smooth mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, and fried foods.

Health notes

Palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat, and high intake of saturated fat is linked to increased risk of heart disease. However, the specific impact of palm oil on health is debated, with some research suggesting it may have different effects than other saturated fats. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and set an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated it.

Allergen info

Palm oil is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
