What it is

Organic palm stearin is a solid fat derived from palm oil. It is produced by fractionating palm oil, a process that separates the oil into liquid and solid components. The solid component, palm stearin, is then further processed.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use palm stearin as a fat source and texturizer in food products. It helps to provide a firmer texture and a richer mouthfeel. It is commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

Palm stearin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, it is calorie-dense. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and its fractions, including palm stearin, and established acceptable daily intakes. Some studies have raised concerns about the saturated fat content of palm oil, which is present in palm stearin, and its potential impact on blood cholesterol levels. However, the overall health effects are a subject of ongoing research and dietary recommendations emphasize moderation.

Allergen info

Palm stearin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
