Canola Soybean Palm Oil With TBHQ

This is a blend of oils derived from canola (rapeseed) and soybeans, with the addition of TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone). Canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, while soybean oil comes from soybeans. TBHQ is a synthetic antioxidant.

This oil blend is used as a cooking oil and a component in processed foods. It provides a neutral flavor and helps improve texture and shelf life. It is often found in baked goods like crackers and cookies, as well as candies.

TBHQ is approved by the FDA as a food additive to preserve freshness. It is used in small amounts to prevent oils from going rancid. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated TBHQ. Some studies have raised questions about potential health effects at very high doses, but regulatory bodies consider it safe at levels typically found in food.
