Hi everyone,
we have shortening as ingredient list in our cookie. The shortening component is "Canola oil, palm oil and modified Palm oil". I would appreciate if you help me with the manner of declaration. should we declare as "Canola and palm and modified Palm oil shortening" or just "shortening" in our ingredient list
Hydrogenated oils-margarine, palm oil-shortening
Oil Tester - Example of Oil Shortening Record
Labelling; Margerine or Shortening?

I read that page but at the beginning shortening is exempt from declaration
Table A: Ingredients Exempt from Component Declaration "shortening"but in other table it said that
shortening or margarine containing coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, peanut oil or cocoa butter "shortening" or "margarine" modified by the common name of the vegetable oil or fat used
shortening or margarine containing coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, peanut oil or cocoa butter "shortening" or "margarine" modified by the common name of the vegetable oil or fat used
