Canola Or Safflower Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. Safflower oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant. Both oils are refined and processed for use in food.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and a smooth texture, and are often found in salad dressings, baked goods, and snacks.

Canola oil and safflower 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 than saturated fats. JECFA has evaluated both oils and established acceptable daily intakes. Some research suggests benefits from unsaturated fats, while other studies show mixed results on long-term health effects.
