So, what is palmstearine?
Palmstearine is a natural vegetable fat that is derived from the oil of palm trees. It is a semi-solid, white-colored fat that is commonly used in food production as an ingredient in margarine, shortening, and confectionery products. With its high melting point and stability, palmstearine is also used as a frying fat and in the production of soap and cosmetics. Palmstearine is rich in stearic acid, a type of saturated fat that is known to have a neutral effect on cholesterol levels. However, the production of palm oil and its derivatives, including palmstearine, has raised concerns about environmental impact and sustainability.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
