Pre - Fried In Non - Gmo Palm Oil

Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It is a semi-solid fat at room temperature and is used in cooking and in processed foods. The term 'non-GMO' indicates that the oil was not produced using genetically modified organisms.

Palm oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods due to its texture, stability, and low cost. It is often used in baked goods, fried foods, snacks, and margarine. In this case, it is used as the cooking oil for pre-frying food items.

Palm oil is primarily composed of saturated and unsaturated fats. The FDA considers palm oil and palm kernel oil to be safe for consumption. Organizations like the WHO have noted that diets high in saturated fats can be linked to increased risk of heart disease. The evidence regarding the health effects of palm oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts due to its saturated fat content and others highlighting its nutritional profile. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and set an acceptable daily intake.
