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 lower levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. It is processed to extract the oil, which is then refined, bleached, and deodorized.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use canola oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and smooth texture make it suitable for baking, frying, and as a component in dressings, sauces, 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. The WHO and EFSA have evaluated rapeseed oil, and it is considered safe for consumption. Research on the health effects of canola oil is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits from its fatty acid profile, while others raise questions about processing methods.

Allergen info

Canola oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
