OverSoyed Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Shortening? Lard? Animal Kadunkadunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 what is the labeling on the shortening container. If it's crisco, for example, you can write Vegetable Shortening (specific ingredients listed here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I don't use it. I use lard, which has no fancy INCI name, so ... my take is call it all by the INCI name or by what it is in the everyday world. On my labels, hydrogenated vegetable oil is just too long, but vegetable shortening isn't as long. I'm not much for Animal Kadunkadunk and really think a person with no experience in the area shouldn't be commenting on it much less just trying to be funny about it and labeling. It serves no purpose, but then that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Personally I'd say "partially hydrogenated deodorized vegetable oil (or blends)" depending on the type you're using...5.2 Type I. The general purpose shortening shall consist only of partially hydrogenated deodorized vegetable oil or blends of vegetable oils. The product shall not contain antioxidants or antifoaming agents. 5.3 Type II. The bakery (emulsifier-type) shortening shall contain vegetable fats and oils, which have been deodorized. The fats and oils shall have been processed by hydrogenation. The product may contain antioxidants. Antifoaming agents shall not be incorporated into the product. The shortening shall contain mono- and diglycerides in the amount specified in Table I.Excerpt from...http://www.ams.usda.gov/fqa/aa20100c.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
