An object of the present invention is to provide a method for reducing the content of a saturated hydrocarbon in oils and/or fats. The present invention provides a method for reducing the content of a saturated hydrocarbon in refined oils and/or fats, the method including subjecting raw material oils and/or fats to a short path distillation treatment under the temperature condition of 50°C or higher and 270°C or lower. In the short path distillation treatment, a feed rate of the raw material oils and/or fats to a short path distillation apparatus may be 30.0 kg/h ·m2 or less per unit area of an evaporation surface of the short path distillation apparatus. The feed rate may be 5.00 kg/h ·m2 or more and 25.0 kg/h ·m2 or less per unit area of an evaporation surface of the short path distillation apparatus.
