Consumer Advice ​

Superglycerinated hydrogenated rapeseed oil is an emulsifier made from hydrogenated rapeseed oil, used to help stabilize oil and water in chocolate, confectionery and baked goods. It received a new INS number only recently, is not widely used, and is absent from many countries' additive lists. It is based on plant rapeseed oil and is safe when used in compliance, though consumers will rarely see it in everyday food.
