What it is
This is a blend of two vegetable oils: canola oil and olive oil. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the canola plant, a variety of rapeseed. Olive oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree. The blend aims to combine the properties and flavors of both oils.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this blend as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in dressings, marinades, and baked goods. It provides a source of fat and can contribute to the texture and flavor of foods. It is often found in products like salad dressings, sauces, and some processed meals.
Health notes
Both canola oil and olive oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated components of vegetable oils, but specific blends are not typically evaluated as single entities. Evidence generally supports the consumption of unsaturated fats as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Neither canola oil nor olive oil are derived from the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten is not present in these oils.
