What it is

Canola oil is made from rapeseed, a plant in the mustard family. Sunflower oil is pressed from sunflower seeds. Both are vegetable oils commonly used in cooking and food manufacturing.

JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils, and they are widely used globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these oils at typical dietary levels.
