Rspo Certified Palm Oil

Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree. "RSPO Certified" means the palm oil has been produced according to sustainability standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.

Manufacturers often use palm oil for its semi-solid texture at room temperature, which contributes to product stability and mouthfeel. It is a common ingredient in many processed foods like baked goods, confectionery, and ice cream.

In the United States, palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is high in saturated fat, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a common food ingredient rather than an additive, JECFA and EFSA have not set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for palm oil itself.
