What it is

Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts (Cocos nucifera). It is a plant-based fat known for its distinct flavor and high saturated fat content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers often use coconut oil to provide a rich texture and flavor, especially in frozen desserts like ice cream and non-dairy frozen treats. It is also used in confectionery and baked goods, where its solid form at room temperature can be beneficial.

Health notes

Coconut oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its intended uses. It is a significant source of saturated fat, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. While JECFA has evaluated dietary fats, coconut oil is generally considered a foodstuff rather than a food additive requiring a specific Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI).

Allergen info

Coconut oil is derived from coconut, which the FDA recognizes as a tree nut for food labeling purposes due to potential allergic reactions. It is naturally gluten-free.
