What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree, while palm kernel oil is extracted from the kernel (seed) of the same fruit. Both are widely used edible oils.

Why it's used

These oils are used in many packaged foods as a source of fat, contributing to texture, stability, and shelf life. They are often found in baked goods, confectionery, snack foods, and ice cream.

Health notes

Palm oil and palm kernel oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Both oils are high in saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA (the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) and EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority) have evaluated these oils.
