What it is
This is a blend of vegetable oils, often including palm oil or soybean oil, that have been hydrogenated or interesterified. This process changes the oil's physical state, making it more solid at room temperature. It is used to improve the texture and stability of food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this ingredient to provide a solid or semi-solid fat component in foods, which helps with texture, mouthfeel, and stability. It is commonly found in frozen appetizers, prepared meals, and processed poultry products.
Health notes
Coating Set In Vegetable Oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The specific health effects depend on the type of vegetable oil used and the processing method. Some vegetable oils can be sources of saturated or trans fats, depending on hydrogenation. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many types of fats and oils used in food. Evidence regarding the health effects of different types of fats is ongoing.
Allergen info
This ingredient is not a major allergen. However, if soybean oil is used, it is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present.
