Canola Palm Soybean Oil

This ingredient is a blend of three common vegetable oils: canola oil, palm oil, and soybean oil. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the canola plant, while soybean oil is derived from soybeans. Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees.

Manufacturers use this blend to provide a specific fat profile and texture in food products. It can improve mouthfeel, stability, and shelf-life. It is often found in baked goods, snacks, and processed foods.

These oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are sources of fatty acids, including saturated and unsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. Evidence on the health effects of specific oil blends can be mixed, with ongoing research into the impact of different fat types on health.
