What it is

Canola sunflower seed oil is a blend of oils derived from the seeds of the canola plant (a variety of rapeseed) and sunflower plants. The seeds are typically pressed or solvent-extracted to yield their oil, which is then refined, bleached, and deodorized.

Why it's used

This oil blend is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in processed foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for frying and baking, and it's often found in salad dressings, margarines, and baked goods.

Health notes

Canola sunflower seed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated vegetable oils, and while specific evaluations for this precise blend may vary, they are generally considered safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not link typical consumption of these oils to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Neither canola nor sunflower seeds are among the FDA's nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
