Canola Palm Oil With Preservative

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. Palm oil is derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. This ingredient is a blend of these two oils, often with added preservatives to extend shelf life.

This blend is used as a cooking oil and fat in baked goods and processed foods. It provides a neutral flavor and desirable texture, and the added preservatives help maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

Canola oil and palm oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Both oils are common dietary fats. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and palm oil and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence on the health effects of consuming these oils at typical dietary levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about saturated fat content, particularly for palm oil.
