What it is

Non-hydrogenated margarine is a spread made from vegetable oils that have not undergone hydrogenation. This process is typically used to make oils more solid at room temperature. It is often made from a blend of oils like soybean, canola, or palm oil, and may contain added water, salt, and flavorings.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-hydrogenated margarine as a fat source and for its spreadability, similar to butter. It provides richness and moisture in baked goods and is used in products like cookies, pastries, and breads. It can also be used as a spread on toast or pancakes.

Health notes

Non-hydrogenated margarine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of unsaturated fats, which are considered healthier than saturated fats when consumed in moderation. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fat spreads. Evidence suggests that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats may have benefits for heart health.

Allergen info

Non-hydrogenated margarine is not a major allergen. However, depending on the specific oils used, it may be derived from soy. It does not contain gluten.
