Health notes

Chia seed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated chia seeds and their components, but no specific ADI has been set for the oil itself. Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may support heart health, but more studies are needed to confirm specific benefits from chia seed oil consumption.
