What it is

Canola is a type of rapeseed bred to have lower levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. It is an edible oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant. The seeds are typically crushed, and the oil is extracted using solvents or mechanical pressing, then refined.

Why it's used

Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide range of processed foods. Manufacturers use it for its neutral flavor, light texture, and ability to withstand high heat. It's commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, fried foods, and snack items.

Health notes

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. Health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have not set specific limits for canola oil intake, but recommend a balanced fat intake. Some debate exists regarding the processing of canola oil and its potential health effects, though major health bodies consider it safe when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Canola is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
