What it is
Palm fruit oil, also known as palm oil, is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). "Expeller pressed" means the oil is mechanically squeezed from the fruit without the use of chemical solvents. "Organic" indicates it was produced following organic farming and processing standards.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use palm oil in many processed foods because it is semi-solid at room temperature, which helps with texture and stability. It is often found in baked goods, snack foods, and plant-based meat alternatives.
Health notes
Palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is high in 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 as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
