What it is

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The term 'canola' comes from 'Canadian oil, low acid.' Expeller pressing is a mechanical process that uses friction and pressure to extract oil from seeds, without the use of chemical solvents.

Why it's used

Expeller-pressed canola oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and processed foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it versatile for various cooking methods.

Health notes

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not classified canola oil as a carcinogen. Some studies suggest that consuming unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats may benefit heart health.

Allergen info

Canola oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
