What it is

Expeller pressed sunflower seed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seeds using a mechanical press. This method, known as expeller pressing, uses friction and pressure to squeeze the oil out without the use of chemical solvents.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use expeller pressed sunflower seed oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in processed foods. Its neutral flavor and liquid state at room temperature make it suitable for a variety of products, including snacks, sauces, and baked goods.

Health notes

Expeller pressed sunflower seed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sunflower oil, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
