What it is

RSPO Certified Sustainable refers to palm oil that has been produced according to standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Palm oil is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees, widely used in food products.

Why it's used

Palm oil is a common fat used in many processed foods, including baked goods like cookies, cakes, and snack cakes, as well as chocolate and confectionery. It provides texture, stability, and a creamy mouthfeel to products. The RSPO certification indicates that the palm oil was produced with environmental and social responsibility in mind.

Health notes

Palm oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat; 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. While palm oil itself is a common food component, the RSPO certification addresses environmental and social concerns related to its production.

Allergen info

Palm oil is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens.
