Expeller Pressed Canola Or Sunflower Oil

Expeller pressed canola oil is a vegetable oil extracted from canola seeds using a mechanical press, without the use of chemical solvents. Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds. Both are common cooking oils.

These oils are used in a variety of processed foods as a cooking medium, to add richness, or to improve texture. They are frequently found in snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as salad dressings and mayonnaise.

Expeller pressed canola and sunflower oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fat options. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vegetable oils. No significant health concerns are associated with moderate consumption of these oils.
