Why it's used

Health notes
Coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of saturated fats, particularly lauric acid. While some research suggests potential benefits of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut oil, other studies highlight concerns about saturated fat intake and cardiovascular health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut oil and related fatty acids.
Allergen info
Coconut is not considered a major allergen by the FDA. It is not related to tree nuts, although some individuals may have allergies to both.
