What it is

Organic palm wax is a hard, waxy substance derived from palm oil. It is produced by hydrogenating palm oil, a process that changes its physical properties to make it more solid and stable at room temperature. It is used as a food additive.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic palm wax as a coating or glazing agent to give foods a shiny appearance and to protect them from moisture loss. It can also act as a firming agent in some products. It is found in various processed foods, including confections and baked goods.

Health notes

Organic palm wax is listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has also evaluated palm wax and established specifications for its use. At typical consumption levels, it is not expected to pose health risks.

Allergen info

Organic palm wax is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
