Non-gmo Expeller Pressed Sunflower Safflower Oil

Sunflower and safflower oil are vegetable oils extracted from the seeds of the sunflower and safflower plants, respectively. "Expeller pressed" means the oils are mechanically squeezed from the seeds, typically without the use of chemical solvents. "Non-GMO" indicates that the seeds used were not genetically modified.

These oils are commonly used in food products as cooking oils, in baked goods, snacks, and salad dressings. They provide fat content, contribute to the texture of foods, and can act as a carrier for flavors. They are often chosen for their neutral taste and as an alternative to other fats.

Sunflower and safflower oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of dietary fat, primarily unsaturated fats. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, and as common food ingredients, these oils are not typically subject to specific ADI evaluations by these bodies. While there are general dietary discussions about the balance of different types of fats in the diet, there are no notable controversies regarding the safety of sunflower and safflower oils themselves at typical intake levels.
