Is Animal Oil Vegan?

Animal oil is a type of fat obtained from the tissues of animals. Common sources include lard (from pigs), tallow (from cattle or sheep), and fish oils. These oils are used in cooking, baking, and as a component in processed foods due to their flavor and texture properties. Animal oils can have varying melting points and are often solid at room temperature. They are rich in saturated fats and are typically used for frying, roasting, and in pastry making to achieve a flaky texture.
