What it is
Canola Palm is a blend of canola oil and palm oil. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, which is a member of the mustard family. Palm oil is derived from the fruit of oil palm trees.
Why it's used
This oil blend is used as a cooking oil and shortening. Manufacturers use it to improve texture and mouthfeel in baked goods and processed foods. It is often found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, butter substitutes, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Canola oil and palm oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. Both oils are sources of fat and provide calories. While both have been studied, there is ongoing discussion about the health effects of saturated fats (found in palm oil) versus unsaturated fats (found in canola oil).
Allergen info
Canola oil is not one of the nine major allergens. Palm oil is not a major allergen. Neither is typically a source of gluten.
