What it is

Partially hydrogenated palm kernel and palm oils are fats derived from palm and palm kernel fruits. They are made by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils, which makes them more solid at room temperature and increases their shelf life.

Why it's used

These oils were historically used in many processed foods to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. They helped create a desirable mouthfeel in products like baked goods, snacks, and spreads.

Health notes

In the United States, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food since 2018. This change was implemented because PHOs are a major source of artificial trans fat, which has been linked to increased risk of heart disease. The FDA's action effectively removed most artificial trans fat from the food supply. JECFA has evaluated trans fatty acids and their health effects.
