The specific combination and processing can vary depending on the intended application.

Manufacturers use this blend as a fat source or shortening in various food products. It provides texture, mouthfeel, and stability. It's often found in baked goods, coffee creamers, and confectionery items where a stable fat is needed.

This ingredient is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of saturated and unsaturated fats. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for this type of fat blend, but dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fats and oils, but no specific evaluations for this exact blend were found.
