Is Myristic Acid Pescatarian?
AvoidNo. Animal product not typically used in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).
Myristic Acid and the Pescatarian Diet
Myristic Acid is a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid found in certain types of animal fats, as well as in some plant oils such as nutmeg butter and palm oil. It is more commonly used in the production of cosmetics, soaps, and personal care products due to its ability to stabilize formulations and improve texture. In the food industry, its derivatives might be used as emulsifiers or flavoring agents, although this is less common.
