What it is
Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil. It comes from the fruit of the oil palm tree, which grows in tropical regions. The oil is extracted from the fleshy part of the fruit.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use palm oil in many processed foods because it is stable and has a semi-solid texture at room temperature. It helps give products a smooth feel and can extend shelf life. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and fried foods.
Health notes
Palm oil is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (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. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated palm oil as a food ingredient.
