Organic Expeller-pressed Palm Oil

Palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree. "Expeller-pressed" means the oil is mechanically squeezed from the fruit, without the use of chemical solvents. "Organic" indicates it is produced according to organic farming standards.

Manufacturers use palm oil for its semi-solid texture at room temperature, which helps provide structure and stability to many processed foods. It is also valued for its neutral flavor and its suitability for frying and baking. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and crackers, as well as snacks and microwave popcorn.

Palm oil is a widely consumed vegetable oil. The FDA generally recognizes palm oil as safe for consumption. It is high in saturated fat; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a whole food ingredient rather than an additive, JECFA and EFSA have not set specific acceptable daily intake (ADI) limits for palm oil.
