What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. Monoglycerides are a type of fat produced by breaking down fats and oils. When combined, they often function as an emulsifier, helping to mix ingredients that don't normally blend, like oil and water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use palm oil with monoglycerides to improve texture and stability in foods. They act as emulsifiers, preventing separation and creating a smoother consistency. This blend is often found in baked goods, processed meats, and dairy alternatives.

Health notes

Palm oil with monoglycerides is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, it contributes calories and saturated fat to the diet. JECFA has evaluated monoglycerides and diglycerides, setting an acceptable daily intake. While palm oil itself has been studied for its effects on cholesterol, evidence on the health impacts of palm oil with monoglycerides at typical consumption levels is not conclusive.

Allergen info

Palm oil is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Monoglycerides can be derived from animal or vegetable fats; if derived from soy or other allergens, it would be listed separately.
