About VEGETABLE SHORTENING
This product is a vegetable shortening made by Smart & Final Iris Corporation. It is a solid, shelf-stable fat primarily used in baking and frying. Nutritionally, it is very high in calories and consists entirely of fat, offering no protein or carbohydrates. The major ingredient is partially hydrogenated soybean oil, which contributes to its high saturated and trans fat content. Due to its high fat content and the presence of partially hydrogenated oils, this product should be used sparingly, if at all, and is not a significant contributor to a balanced and healthy diet. Healthier fat alternatives should be considered.
