Health notes
Palm shortening is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and set an acceptable daily intake. This ingredient is distinct from partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which are no longer GRAS due to artificial trans fats; non-hydrogenated palm shortening does not contain artificial trans fats.
