What it is

Fully refined and dewaxed corn oil is a vegetable oil derived from corn kernels. The refining process removes impurities, color, and flavor, while dewaxing further clarifies the oil by removing solid fats that can make the oil cloudy at cooler temperatures. This results in a clear, neutral-tasting oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use this oil as a cooking oil and a fat source in food production due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in frozen desserts and vegetable oil blends.

Health notes

Fully refined and dewaxed corn oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other vegetable oils, it is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated corn oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming corn oil at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
