What it is
Hydrogenated rapeseed oil is a type of oil made from rapeseed (also known as canola). It is created by adding hydrogen to liquid rapeseed oil through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil more solid and stable.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use hydrogenated rapeseed oil to improve the texture and shelf life of foods. It acts as a fat or oil, helping to prevent separation and provide a smoother consistency in products like nut butters, candies, and crackers.
Health notes
Hydrogenated rapeseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated and potentially trans fats, depending on the degree of hydrogenation. While trans fats have been linked to negative health outcomes, the levels in foods have decreased significantly. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, including hydrogenated versions, and have established guidelines for their use.
Allergen info
Rapeseed is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
