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 very low levels of erucic acid. Canola oil is produced by crushing the seeds to extract the oil, which is then refined.

Why it's used

Canola oil is a neutral-tasting, versatile cooking oil. Manufacturers use it as a cooking oil, in salad dressings, and in baked goods. Its mild flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for a wide range of food applications.

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 Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated canola oil. Evidence on the health effects of canola oil at typical intake levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits for heart health and others raising concerns about inflammation, though research is ongoing.

Allergen info

Canola oil is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
