About Lard and vegetable oil shortening

Lard and vegetable oil shortening is a blended fat ingredient containing animal lard and vegetable oil. The vegetable-oil type and the proportions of the fats are not specified, and the label does not establish whether the blend contains other ingredients.

Shortening is used in cooking and baking as a fat that can contribute tenderness or structure. It is commonly handled as a solid or semi-solid, but consistency and flavour depend on the blend and processing. The record does not identify a household or industrial grade.
