Abstract: An improved wetting agent for use in the production of fat-containing powdered products which are spontaneously wettable and dispersible in cold aqueous liquids. The wetting agent comprises oil-free granular phosphatides containing at least 95% acetone insoluble matter dissolved in an oil which has a bland taste, a maximum iodine value of 2.0 and which is a liquid at temperatures as low as about 0.degree.
