What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. It is a semi-solid at room temperature and is produced by pressing the fruit. It is one of the most widely used vegetable oils globally.

Why it's used

Palm oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods due to its texture and stability. It functions as a fat or oil, providing richness and a smooth mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, chocolate, and fried foods.

Health notes

Palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat, and its consumption is debated in relation to heart health. Some studies suggest high intake of saturated fats may increase LDL cholesterol, while others indicate that the specific type of saturated fat in palm oil may have a more neutral effect. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and set an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated it.

Allergen info

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