How we scored it
Peanut oil, hydrogenated. Hydrogenated natural oils = 1.0; added hydrogen gas leaves no separate petrochemical mass.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
