High Oleic Canola Oil Sunflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of high oleic canola oil and sunflower oil. Canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, and sunflower oil comes from sunflower seeds. 'High oleic' means these oils have been specially developed to contain a higher amount of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat.

Manufacturers use this oil blend for cooking, frying, and as an ingredient in many processed foods. The high oleic content makes the oils more stable, which helps extend the shelf life of products like snacks, baked goods, and dressings.

Both canola oil and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These oils are primarily composed of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated fats, which are recommended as part of a healthy diet by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030). As common food ingredients, they are not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way food additives are.
