Health notes
The FDA recognizes corn syrup as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Palm kernel oil and its hydrogenated forms are also generally recognized as safe. However, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which were a source of artificial trans fat, are no longer GRAS by the FDA since 2018. Fully hydrogenated oils, which contain negligible amounts of trans fat, remain permitted. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, including corn syrup, and suggest limiting added sugars to no more than 10 grams per meal. JECFA has evaluated both corn syrup and palm kernel oil.
