What it is

Expeller pressed safflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant. The expeller pressing method uses mechanical pressure to extract the oil without the use of chemical solvents. This results in a pure oil that retains more of the seed's natural nutrients.

Why it's used

Safflower oil is used as a cooking oil and a food ingredient due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. Manufacturers use it in salad dressings, baked goods, snacks, and processed foods. It adds moisture and a smooth texture to products.

Health notes

Expeller pressed safflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated safflower oil and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Research on the health effects of dietary fats is ongoing, with varying conclusions regarding specific types of fats and cardiovascular health.

Allergen info

Safflower oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
