What it is
Canola oil is made from rapeseed, a plant in the mustard family. Soybean oil is made from soybeans. Both are vegetable oils commonly used in cooking and food manufacturing. They are typically extracted from the seeds and then refined, bleached, and deodorized.
Why it's used
These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide moisture, texture, and help blend ingredients together in products like baked goods, salad dressings, and snack foods.
Health notes
Canola and soybean oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of unsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. While generally considered healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet, some research has explored the effects of highly processed vegetable oils, though evidence is mixed and often debated.
Allergen info
Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Canola oil is not derived from any of the major allergens.
