One Or More Of The Following: Canola

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have lower levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. The seeds are crushed to extract the oil, which is then refined.

Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide variety of processed foods. It is often chosen for its neutral flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for frying, baking, and as an ingredient in dressings and sauces. It is commonly found in snacks, baked goods, and savory products.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies have explored its effects on heart health, with mixed results, but typical consumption is not associated with adverse health outcomes.
