About Hydrogenated palm shortening

Hydrogenated palm shortening is a palm-based shortening processed by hydrogenation. Shortening is a prepared fat ingredient used to contribute fat and texture in foods; the name does not specify the precise formulation, degree of hydrogenation, or whether additional oils or components are present. It is distinct from a liquid palm oil as commonly encountered.

The product is generally firm or semi-solid at room temperature, though consistency can vary with formulation and handling. Its flavour and appearance are not defined by this label. It may be incorporated into baked or other prepared foods, but the particular use and blend require confirmation from the product label.
