Organic Palm Olein Oil

Palm olein oil is a liquid fat made from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It is produced by separating the liquid part of palm oil from the solid part through a process called fractionation. This process gives it a lower melting point than regular palm oil.

Manufacturers use palm olein oil in many processed foods, especially for frying, due to its stability at high temperatures and neutral flavor. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in baked goods.

Palm olein oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for palm olein oil, as it is considered a food rather than a food additive.
