What it is
Canola oil is made from the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. Corn oil is made from the germ of corn kernels. Both are refined vegetable oils, meaning they are processed to remove impurities and create a neutral flavor and stable product.
Why it's used
These oils are commonly used as cooking oils and as ingredients in processed foods like chips, crackers, and baked goods. They provide a smooth texture, help blend ingredients, and prevent sticking.
Health notes
Both canola oil and corn 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. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. Evidence on the health effects of consuming these oils at typical dietary levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits and others raising concerns about their processing and omega-6 fatty acid content.
Allergen info
Canola oil is not a major allergen. Corn oil is not a major allergen. Neither contains gluten.
