What it is

Fractionated palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from palm fruit. It is produced by separating palm oil into liquid and solid components through a process called fractionation. This results in oils with different melting points and textures.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fractionated palm oil for its semi-solid consistency and neutral flavor. It helps improve texture, prevent separation, and extend shelf life in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in products like peanut butter.

Health notes

Fractionated palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated and unsaturated fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated palm oil and its fractions, and have established guidance on acceptable intake levels. Research on the health effects of palm oil consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about saturated fat intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from palm fruit and does not contain gluten.
