Less Than 2% Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant. It is a common cooking oil and ingredient, known for its mild flavor and relatively high smoke point. It is produced by pressing sunflower seeds to release their oil.

Sunflower oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods as a source of fat and to improve texture and mouthfeel. It can also act as a carrier for flavors and fat-soluble vitamins. It is found in products like salad dressings, baked goods, snacks, and fried foods.

Sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sunflower oil. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
