Why it's used
Manufacturers add mono- and diglycerides to foods to help mix ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water. This is called an emulsifier. They are often found in baked goods, ice cream, and margarine.

Mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are common food components and are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them and established acceptable daily intake levels.
