What it is
Canola and corn are common food ingredients derived from plants. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, which has been bred to have lower levels of erucic acid. Corn is a grain that is widely cultivated and used in many forms, including oils, sweeteners, and starches.
Why it's used
These ingredients are frequently used in processed foods for their oil and carbohydrate content. Canola oil is a common cooking oil and is used as an emulsifier and to improve texture. Corn-derived ingredients like corn syrup and corn starch are used as sweeteners, thickeners, and to add bulk.
Health notes
Canola oil and corn-derived ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended uses. They are common sources of calories and nutrients in the diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual components and derivatives of canola and corn. Evidence regarding the health effects of specific types of fats and sugars derived from these sources is ongoing and sometimes debated.
Allergen info
Neither canola nor corn are among the FDA's 9 major food allergens. Corn is a grain, but it does not contain gluten.
