Non-gmo Canola Oil Sunflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of canola oil and sunflower oil. Canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, and sunflower oil comes from sunflower seeds. Both are vegetable oils, and the 'non-GMO' label indicates they are sourced from plants that have not been genetically modified.

Manufacturers use this oil blend primarily as a cooking oil, for frying, and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It helps improve the texture, flavor, and mouthfeel of products like chips, snacks, and popcorn.

Both canola oil and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their intended uses. They are sources of unsaturated fats. Canola oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, while sunflower oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids or, in some varieties, monounsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated dietary fats as part of a healthy diet. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of these refined oils at typical intake levels.
