What it is
High oleic sunflower oil is a type of sunflower oil that has been bred to have a higher concentration of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat. It is produced from the seeds of sunflowers, similar to regular sunflower oil. The breeding process changes the fatty acid profile of the oil, making it more stable.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use high oleic sunflower oil for its stability and neutral flavor. It is often chosen for frying and baking because it is less likely to break down at high temperatures than regular sunflower oil. You can find it in snacks, baked goods, and cooking oils.
Health notes
High oleic sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for this type of oil. JECFA has evaluated sunflower oil and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Sunflower is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
