What it is

Non-hydrogenated expeller-pressed palm kernel oil is a type of vegetable fat extracted from the kernel (seed) of the oil palm tree. "Expeller-pressed" means the oil was mechanically squeezed out of the kernels without the use of chemical solvents. "Non-hydrogenated" indicates it has not undergone a process that would create artificial trans fats.

Why it's used

This oil is used in food manufacturing to provide texture, mouthfeel, and stability to products. Its unique fatty acid profile makes it suitable for confectionery coatings, shortenings, and various processed foods. It is often found in snack foods, baked goods, and dairy-free alternatives.

Health notes

Palm kernel oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is naturally high in saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping intake of saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories. Because it is "non-hydrogenated," this oil does not contain artificial trans fats, which are no longer generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
