100% Pure Corn Oil

Corn oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels. It is a common cooking oil made by processing corn, often using mechanical pressing and solvent extraction to maximize yield. The resulting oil is then refined, bleached, and deodorized.

Corn oil is used as a cooking and frying oil due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. Manufacturers add it to processed foods for its texture and to improve mouthfeel. It is found in baked goods, salad dressings, margarine, and snack foods.

Corn oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated corn oil and found no safety concerns at typical intake levels. While some studies have explored the effects of different dietary fats on health, corn oil is not typically associated with significant health controversies when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
