Health notes

Lf Low Polyunsaturated Fat Oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a modified vegetable oil, it contributes to the overall fat intake from foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fats and oils, but specific evaluations for this precise formulation may vary. Evidence regarding the health effects of consuming oils with altered fatty acid profiles is ongoing.
