What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palms. It is a semi-solid at room temperature and is produced by pressing the fruit. It is one of the most widely used vegetable oils globally.

Why it's used

Palm oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods due to its versatility and relatively low cost. It functions as a fat or oil, providing texture, richness, and stability in products like baked goods, confectionery, and processed meats. It is also used in non-food items like soaps and cosmetics.

Health notes

Palm oil is a source of saturated fat, which is associated with increased LDL cholesterol levels. The FDA lists palm oil as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated palm oil and its components. Evidence on the health effects of palm oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts due to its saturated fat content, while others highlight its vitamin E content.
