Health notes
Both cottonseed oil and palm oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses in food. They are sources of dietary fats, including saturated fats; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Cottonseed oil was historically a source of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which contained artificial trans fats, but PHOs are no longer GRAS since 2018, removing most artificial trans fats from the food supply. JECFA and EFSA have not set specific acceptable daily intakes for these oils, as they are considered basic food ingredients.
