What it is

Palm kernel oil comes from the seed of the oil palm tree, while soybean oil is extracted from soybeans. Both are vegetable oils commonly used in food manufacturing. They are typically refined to remove impurities and alter their physical properties.

Why it's used

These oils are used as cooking oils, shortenings, and as ingredients in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods. They provide texture, mouthfeel, and help to carry flavors. Their relatively neutral taste and versatility make them popular choices for manufacturers.

Health notes

Palm kernel oil and soybean oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of fatty acids, including saturated and unsaturated fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. Evidence does not link typical consumption of these oils to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Palm kernel oil is not derived from any of the major allergens. Neither contains gluten.
