Crisco, a household name since 1911, was the first solid shortening made entirely from vegetable oils. While both Crisco and palm shortening are solid, white fats used in baking, they are not the same, differing in key ways from their manufacturing process to their ingredient list.

According to the manufacturer and numerous grocers, Golden Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening is labeled as a gluten-free food product. Made from plant-based oils, this popular baking ingredient does not contain any gluten-based components like wheat, barley, or rye.
