What it is

Coconut oil is a fat extracted from the meat of coconuts. Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. Both are commonly used in food production due to their unique properties.

Why it's used

These oils are used in many processed foods, including baked goods, snacks, and confectionery. They contribute to texture, mouthfeel, and can extend the shelf life of products. Their solid or semi-solid state at room temperature makes them useful in formulations.

Health notes

Both coconut oil and palm oil are high in saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The FDA considers both coconut oil and palm oil to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food.

Allergen info

Coconut is classified as a tree nut by the FDA for food labeling purposes, even though it is botanically a fruit. Palm oil is not considered a major allergen.
