What it is

Refined palm oil is an edible vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It undergoes processing, including refining, bleaching, and deodorizing, to remove impurities, color, and odor, making it suitable for food use.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use refined palm oil for its versatility, stability, and semi-solid texture at room temperature. It is commonly found in baked goods, snack foods, instant noodles, and spreads, where it contributes to texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life.

Health notes

Refined palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for its intended use in food in the United States. It is high in saturated fat, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated palm oil as a food ingredient.
