Expeller Pressed Organic Canola Oil

Expeller pressed organic canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The 'expeller pressed' method means the oil is extracted using mechanical pressure without the use of chemical solvents. 'Organic' signifies that the canola seeds were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

This oil is commonly used in cooking and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and processed foods. Manufacturers add it for its neutral flavor, smooth texture, and ability to act as a base for other ingredients.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated canola oil and its components. While generally considered healthy in moderation as part of a balanced diet, some research explores the effects of different processing methods on its nutritional profile.
