Hydrogenated Lard Glyceride and the Sesame Free Diet

Hydrogenated lard glyceride is a type of fat that is produced by hydrogenating lard, which is the rendered fat from pigs. This process involves adding hydrogen to the fat molecules, making the lard more stable and solid at room temperature. It is often used in processed foods to improve texture and shelf life. As it is derived from an animal source, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets.
