About Palm kernel fat

Palm-kernel fat is a fat obtained from palm kernels, distinct in name from fat derived from the palm fruit's flesh. The catalogue does not specify refining, fractionation, or physical form.

It can be used as a cooking or manufacturing fat, including in formulated foods. The finished fat may vary in firmness and other properties with processing and formulation; the entry does not establish a particular grade or sensory profile.
