What it is
Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. Safflower oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant. Both oils are extracted from the seeds and then refined, bleached, and deodorized.
Why it's used
These oils are commonly used in processed foods due to their neutral flavor and high smoke point. They function as cooking oils, shortenings, and ingredients in dressings, baked goods, and snacks.
Health notes
Canola and safflower oils are considered fats and provide calories. The FDA lists them as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vegetable oils. Research on the health effects of consuming these oils at typical levels is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits from unsaturated fats while others focus on processing methods.
Allergen info
Canola oil is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. Safflower oil is also not a major allergen. Neither contains gluten.
