Expeller Pressed High Oleic Canola Oil

Expeller pressed high oleic canola oil is a type of cooking oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. "High oleic" means the oil has been bred to contain a higher amount of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat. "Expeller pressed" indicates that the oil was extracted mechanically by pressing the seeds, rather than using chemical solvents.

This oil is used in food manufacturing as a cooking oil, for frying, and in baked goods. It provides texture, flavor, and is a source of fat in many packaged foods, including snacks, dressings, and spreads.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). High oleic oils are valued for their fatty acid profile, which is rich in monounsaturated fats. JECFA and EFSA have not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for canola oil, as it is considered a common food ingredient rather than a food additive.
