What it is
Rendered chicken fat, a traditional cooking fat — but not as benign as beef tallow, and the bird's feed is why.
Why your biology objects
Unlike ruminant fat (~2–3% LA), poultry fat runs ~20% linoleic acid, and it tracks what the bird ate — grain- and soy-fed chickens deposit far more LA than pastured ones. The saturated and oleic fractions are stable; the elevated, diet-driven LA is the asterisk. Pastured birds score better.
