What it is

Gold flax oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). It is a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. The seeds are typically pressed to extract the oil, which may then be refined.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add gold flax oil for its nutritional profile, particularly its omega-3 content, and as a source of healthy fats. It is often used in salad dressings, mayonnaise, and other cold-application foods where its flavor and nutritional benefits can be highlighted without high heat.

Health notes

Gold flax oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of ALA, an essential fatty acid. JECFA has evaluated flaxseed and flaxseed oil and established specifications for its identity and quality. Research suggests ALA contributes to heart health, though evidence on specific health outcomes from flaxseed oil consumption is ongoing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Flaxseed is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA, nor is it a source of gluten.
