What it is
These are oils extracted from seeds or fruits using a mechanical pressing method, without the use of chemical solvents. The 'organic' label means the source plants were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Common examples include oils from soybeans, sunflowers, or coconuts.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use these oils as a source of fat, providing texture, mouthfeel, and flavor in a wide variety of foods. They are frequently found in baked goods like cookies and crackers, as well as snack foods such as chips and pretzels.
Health notes
Expeller-pressed oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other fats, they provide calories and essential fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various edible oils. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these oils at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen unless derived from a major allergen source, such as soy or sesame. Gluten-free status depends on the specific oil and potential cross-contamination.
