What it is
Non-GMO corn oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels that have not been genetically modified. It is obtained through a process of pressing and refining the corn germ.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add corn oil to foods primarily as a cooking oil, for frying, and as an ingredient in various processed products. It provides a neutral flavor, contributes to texture, and has a relatively high smoke point, making it suitable for different culinary applications.
Health notes
Corn oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. As a common food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by bodies like JECFA or EFSA as a food additive. While some discussions exist regarding the balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, the overall health impact of corn oil depends on the total dietary pattern.
Allergen info
Corn is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
