With Distilled Mono Glycerides Added

Distilled monoglycerides are a type of fat made from vegetable or animal oils. They are created by heating fats and oils, then separating the monoglycerides from other components.

Manufacturers add distilled monoglycerides to foods as an emulsifier. This helps ingredients like oil and water mix together smoothly, improving texture and preventing separation. They are often found in baked goods like bread and crackers.

Distilled monoglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of energy and are broken down like other fats in the body. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated emulsifiers, and no specific safety concerns are noted for distilled monoglycerides at typical consumption levels.
