What it is

Cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. Canola oil is made from rapeseed plants. Both are refined vegetable oils used in cooking and food manufacturing.

Why it's used

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in processed foods like baked goods, dressings, and snacks. They provide a neutral flavor and a smooth texture.

Health notes

Cottonseed oil contains gossypol, a natural toxin, but refining removes most of it. The FDA considers refined cottonseed oil to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Canola oil is also GRAS. Both are sources of unsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated both oils and set acceptable daily intakes.

Allergen info

Neither cottonseed oil nor canola oil are derived from the major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
