Rspo Palm Oil

Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It is extracted from the fleshy part of the fruit. "RSPO" indicates that the palm oil has been certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, meaning it meets certain environmental and social standards.

Manufacturers use palm oil in many foods because it is stable and has a smooth texture. It helps create desired consistency in products like baked goods, snack crackers, and nut and seed butters. It also helps extend the shelf life of products.

Palm oil is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is high in saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a common food oil, it has not been evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
