Canola Oil Corn Oil Sunflower Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. Corn oil is extracted from the germ of corn kernels. Sunflower oil is pressed from sunflower seeds.

These oils are commonly used in packaged foods as cooking oils and as ingredients in dressings, sauces, and baked goods. They provide a neutral flavor and contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of products.

Canola oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily sources of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. While generally considered healthy fats when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, the health effects of specific fatty acid profiles are a subject of ongoing research.
