What it is
Canola oil is made from rapeseed plants, which have been bred to have very low levels of erucic acid. Corn oil is made from the germ of corn kernels. Both are refined vegetable oils used for cooking and in processed foods.
Why it's used
These oils are used as cooking mediums and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide texture, moisture, and help carry flavors. They are commonly found in baked goods, dressings, snacks, and frozen meals.
Health notes
Canola oil and corn oil are widely used and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fat profiles than saturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, but specific evaluations for canola or corn oil are not typically highlighted. Research on the health effects of consuming these oils at typical dietary levels has not shown significant negative impacts.
Allergen info
Neither canola oil nor corn oil are derived from the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
