Copha

Copha, a registered trademark of Peerless Foods, is a form of vegetable fat shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil. Copha is produced only in Australia, but there are many suppliers of hydrogenated coconut fat in various forms worldwide. It is 100% fat, at least 98% of which is saturated. It also contains soybean lecithin. Concern about the health hazards of hydrogenated fats is likely to be a significant contributor to the declining popularity of Copha-based confectionery.
