What it is
Pork fat, also known as lard, is rendered from the fatty tissue of pigs. Vegetable oil is extracted from various plant sources like soybeans, corn, or olives. Both are fats used in cooking and food production.
Why it's used
These fats are used to add richness, improve texture, and enhance flavor in a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, fried foods, processed meats, and sauces.
Health notes
Pork fat and vegetable oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The health effects of consuming fats depend on the type of fat and the overall diet. Saturated fats, often found in pork fat, are associated with increased LDL cholesterol levels, while unsaturated fats, common in vegetable oils, can have beneficial effects on heart health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fats and oils, setting acceptable daily intakes where appropriate.
Allergen info
Pork fat is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Vegetable oils can be derived from major allergens like soy or peanuts, so consumers should check product labels for specific oil sources.
