Canola Oil Soybean Oil Sunflower Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. Soybean oil comes from soybeans, and sunflower oil is pressed from sunflower seeds. These oils are extracted from the seeds and then refined to remove impurities.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in many processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and smooth texture, acting as a base for salad dressings, baked goods, and fried products.

Canola oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of unsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these oils, and they are widely used globally. Evidence generally supports their use as part of a balanced diet.
