Expeller Pressed High Oleic Sunflower Safflower Oil

This is a blend of oils derived from sunflower and safflower seeds, specifically chosen for their high oleic acid content. 'Expeller pressed' means the oil was extracted using mechanical pressure without chemical solvents, a method often preferred for its perceived purity.

Manufacturers use this oil blend for its neutral flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for frying and baking. It's commonly found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in salad dressings and baked goods.

Expeller pressed high oleic sunflower safflower oil is recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils generally, but specific evaluations for this particular blend are not typically highlighted. At typical consumption levels found in packaged foods, it contributes to overall fat intake without specific health concerns noted by regulatory agencies.
