What it is
Palm oil and palm kernel oil are edible vegetable oils extracted from the oil palm tree. Palm oil comes from the fleshy fruit, while palm kernel oil is extracted from the kernel (seed) of the fruit. Both are obtained through pressing.
Why it's used
These oils are widely used in processed foods due to their semi-solid texture at room temperature and stability. They provide desirable texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life to products like cookies, cakes, snack cakes, and various fried foods.
Health notes
Palm oil and palm kernel oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. They are high in saturated fats. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
