Health notes
Dried coconut is a natural food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides dietary fiber and fats, including saturated fats. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a whole food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by international bodies like JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
