Organic Canola Oil Organic Sunflower Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The seeds are crushed to extract the oil, which is then refined, bleached, and deodorized. Sunflower oil is made from sunflower seeds using a similar process.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in many processed foods. They provide a neutral flavor and a smooth texture in products like sauces, dressings, and baked goods. Manufacturers use them for their functional properties and to add healthy fats.

Both canola and sunflower oils are considered fats and are widely used in the food supply. The FDA lists them as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Peer-reviewed reviews suggest that fats from these oils can be part of a balanced diet. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
