What it is

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. Canola oil is produced by crushing the seeds to extract the oil, which is then often refined.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use canola oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and relatively high smoke point make it versatile for frying, baking, and as a component in salad dressings and margarines.

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. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated canola oil. Research on the health effects of canola oil consumption has yielded mixed results, with some studies suggesting benefits for heart health due to its fatty acid profile, while others raise questions about potential inflammatory effects, though evidence is not conclusive.

Allergen info

Canola oil is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
