What it is
Vegetable fat and oil are fats derived from plants. They can be liquid (oils) or solid (fats) at room temperature, depending on their fatty acid composition. Common sources include soybeans, corn, canola, palm, coconut, and sunflower seeds.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use vegetable fats and oils for a variety of functions, including improving texture, adding richness, and acting as a cooking medium. They are found in a wide range of processed foods like baked goods, snacks, spreads, and prepared meals.
Health notes
Vegetable fats and oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of energy and can provide essential fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various vegetable oils and fats. The health effects of vegetable fats and oils are primarily related to their fatty acid profiles, such as saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats, which are topics of ongoing dietary research.
Allergen info
Depending on the specific source, vegetable fats and oils can be derived from major allergens like soy or tree nuts. Manufacturers must declare the source if it is a major allergen. Gluten is not typically associated with vegetable fats and oils unless cross-contamination occurs during processing.
