What it is

Palm cottonseed oil is a blend of palm oil and cottonseed oil. Palm oil comes from the fruit of oil palm trees, while cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. Both oils are refined to create a stable fat suitable for food manufacturing.

Why it's used

This oil blend is used as a cooking oil and shortening in commercial food production. Its stability and texture make it useful in baked goods like bread and cookies, as well as in prepared foods such as sandwiches and tortillas.

Health notes

Palm cottonseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats and oils, it provides calories and can contribute to saturated fat intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for this blend are not widely publicized. Evidence on the health effects of specific oil blends is often complex and debated.

Allergen info

Cottonseed is not one of the nine major allergens. Palm oil is also not a major allergen. Therefore, palm cottonseed oil is not considered a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
