Contains Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant. It is typically produced by pressing the seeds to release their oil, which is then refined to remove impurities. It is a common cooking oil used in many food products.

Sunflower oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in processed foods due to its neutral flavor and relatively high smoke point. It functions as a fat or oil, adding moisture and richness to products like popcorn, snacks, frozen meals, and baked goods.

Sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sunflower oil. Evidence suggests that consuming unsaturated fats, like those in sunflower oil, as part of a balanced diet can be beneficial for heart health.
