Abstract: Production of edible tallow in the United States rose sharply during the past decade, increasing from 94 million pounds in 1952 to an estimated 440 million in 1962. Most of this 468 percent increase is attributable to a strong domestic demand, which is reflected in high prices. Further increases in edible tallow output are likely. Food uses account for almost the entire quantity of edible tallow consumed domestically, although 8-9 million pounds annually are diverted to nonfood uses. Shortening is by far the biggest user of edible tallow.
