What it is

Organic expeller pressed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from seeds or fruits using a mechanical pressing method without the use of chemical solvents. The 'organic' designation means the source material was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Common sources include sunflower, canola, or soybean seeds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use expeller pressed oils as a fat source in food products, contributing to texture, mouthfeel, and flavor. They are often chosen for their perceived health benefits and are found in a variety of organic and natural food items like crackers, cookies, chips, and baked goods.

Health notes

Expeller pressed oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a fat source, they provide calories and essential fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various vegetable oils. At typical dietary intakes, they are a normal part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Depending on the source seed, expeller pressed oil may be derived from major allergens like soy or sesame. If derived from soy, it is a major allergen. If derived from other sources like sunflower or canola, it is not a major allergen. Gluten is not typically associated with these oils.
