What it is

Hydrogenated palm and palm kernel oil is a type of fat made from palm oil. Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of oil palms. The oil is then "hydrogenated," a process where hydrogen is added to make it more solid and stable at room temperature.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add this oil to improve texture, prevent separation, and extend shelf life in baked goods and confectionery. It helps create a smooth mouthfeel and a firmer consistency in products like cakes, cookies, frostings, and chocolate.

Health notes

Hydrogenated palm and palm kernel oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It contains saturated fats, which, when consumed in excess, can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake. While some studies suggest a link between high saturated fat intake and heart disease risk, the evidence is mixed regarding the specific impact of palm oil compared to other saturated fats.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
