What it is
Palm Oil Milk is a plant-based liquid that combines palm oil with water and other ingredients to create a milk-like emulsion. It is typically produced by blending refined palm oil, which is extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees, with water, stabilizers, and emulsifiers to achieve a creamy texture and appearance similar to dairy milk.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Palm Oil Milk as a dairy-free alternative to traditional milk, providing creaminess and richness to products. It is commonly found in confectionery items like chocolates and candies, as well as in baked goods such as cookies and biscuits, where it helps achieve desired texture and mouthfeel.
Health notes
Palm oil, a primary component of Palm Oil Milk, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and palm oil is high in saturated fat. JECFA has evaluated palm oil. There are no specific health implications unique to "Palm Oil Milk" beyond those of its constituent ingredients, particularly palm oil.
