Canola Oil Olive Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The seeds are crushed to extract the oil, which is then refined and purified. Olive oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in salad dressings, marinades, and baked goods. They add moisture, flavor, and help blend other ingredients together.

Both canola oil and olive oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. Evidence suggests that diets rich in monounsaturated fats may be beneficial for heart health.
