Expeller Pressed High Oleic Safflower Oil Canola Oil

Expeller-pressed high oleic safflower oil is a vegetable oil made from safflower seeds. The expeller-pressing method uses mechanical pressure to extract the oil, without the use of chemical solvents. High oleic refers to the oil's fatty acid profile, which is rich in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat.

This oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in food products. Its high smoke point and stability make it suitable for frying and baking. It is often found in snacks, baked goods, and salad dressings.

Expeller-pressed high oleic safflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated edible oils, and EFSA has evaluated various vegetable oils. No specific health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
