What it is

Highly refined coconut oil is a type of fat extracted from the meat of coconuts. The refining process removes impurities, as well as much of the distinct coconut flavor and aroma, resulting in a neutral-tasting oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use highly refined coconut oil in many processed foods as a source of fat. It contributes to texture, mouthfeel, and can extend shelf life. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, confectionery, and some beverages.

Health notes

Highly refined coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is primarily composed of saturated fats. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. While some research suggests coconut oil can raise both "good" (HDL) and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol, the overall scientific consensus from major health organizations advises moderation of saturated fat. As a common food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive for which an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) would be set.

Allergen info

In the United States, the FDA classifies coconut as a tree nut for food labeling purposes. Therefore, products containing coconut oil must declare it as an allergen.
