What it is

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant. It is a common cooking oil, often chosen for its neutral flavor and high smoke point. "Non-GMO" indicates that the sunflower seeds used to produce the oil were not genetically modified.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower oil as a cooking fat and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and snack foods. Its neutral taste makes it versatile, and it can also act as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients.

Health notes

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 healthy fats. 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.

Allergen info

Sunflower oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame). It does not contain gluten.
