What it is

RBD palm oil is a refined, bleached, and deodorized vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. The refining process removes impurities, color, and odor, resulting in a neutral-tasting oil that is solid at room temperature.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use RBD palm oil as a fat source and texturizer in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and breads. Its solid consistency at room temperature helps create a desirable texture and mouthfeel in these products.

Health notes

RBD palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, it is calorie-dense. JECFA has evaluated palm oil and its derivatives. Evidence on the health effects of dietary fats, including palm oil, is complex and ongoing.
