Canola Olive Oils

Canola olive oil is a blend of canola oil and olive oil. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. Olive oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree.

This blend is used as a cooking oil and a fat in processed foods. Manufacturers might use it for its flavor, cooking properties, or to meet consumer demand for oils perceived as healthier.

Both canola oil and olive oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated both canola oil and olive oil and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
