What it is

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant, which is a specific type of rapeseed. It is produced by crushing the seeds and then extracting the oil, often using heat and chemical solvents, followed by refining to remove impurities.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use canola oil in many processed foods for cooking, frying, and baking due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. It is commonly found in salad dressings, margarine, baked goods, and snack foods.

Health notes

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is known for its low saturated fat content and high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated canola oil and found no safety concerns at typical intake levels.
