What it is

Mono- and diglycerides are fats that are made by combining glycerol with fatty acids. They are often produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. This ingredient is typically a mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, and they are widely used globally.
