High Monounsaturated Canola Oil Sunflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of canola oil and high monounsaturated sunflower oil. Canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, a type of rapeseed, while sunflower oil comes from sunflower seeds. Both oils are typically obtained through pressing and refining processes.

This oil blend is used by food manufacturers primarily as a cooking oil for frying and baking, and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It adds flavor, provides a desired texture, and serves as a source of dietary fat in products like snack foods, baked goods, and salad dressings.

Canola oil and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. These oils are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered part of a healthy diet. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for these common food oils, as they are consumed as staple food ingredients rather than as food additives.
