What it is
Expeller pressed grapeseed oil is a light-tasting, neutral-flavored oil extracted from the seeds of grapes. The "expeller pressed" method uses mechanical pressure to extract the oil without the use of chemical solvents. This process is considered a more natural way to obtain the oil.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use expeller pressed grapeseed oil for its light texture and neutral flavor, which makes it versatile in many food products. It is often found in salad dressings, marinades, baked goods, and snack bars, where it can add moisture and richness without altering the taste of other ingredients.
Health notes
Expeller pressed grapeseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated grapeseed oil. Research on the health effects of dietary fats is ongoing, with various studies exploring their impact on cardiovascular health.
Allergen info
Grapeseed oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
