What it is

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. It is a semi-solid at room temperature and is widely used in cooking and processed foods. Soy lecithin is a phospholipid derived from soybeans, often used as an emulsifier.

Why it's used

Palm oil provides a desirable texture and stability to processed foods. Soy lecithin helps to blend oil and water-based ingredients, preventing separation and improving smoothness. They are often found together in baked goods, snack cakes, and pizza dough.

Health notes

Palm oil is a source of saturated fat, and high intake of saturated fat is linked to increased risk of heart disease. The FDA considers palm oil to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Soy lecithin is also considered GRAS by the FDA. Both ingredients have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA, which has established acceptable daily intakes for certain food additives, but not specifically for palm oil or soy lecithin as primary ingredients. Evidence on the health impacts of palm oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential negative effects due to its saturated fat content, while others highlight its nutritional profile.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Palm oil is not derived from any of the major allergens.
