What it is

Hydrogenated lard is a type of fat derived from pigs. It is made by a process called hydrogenation, which adds hydrogen to liquid fats to make them more solid and stable.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use hydrogenated lard as a shortening to improve the texture and shelf life of baked goods. It provides a flaky texture in pastries and can be found in products like pie crusts, cookies, and bread mixes.

Health notes

Hydrogenated lard is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other animal fats, it is a source of saturated fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations of hydrogenated lard may vary. Evidence on the health effects of saturated fats is complex and ongoing.

Allergen info

Hydrogenated lard is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
