Organic Expeller Pressed Sunflower And /or Safflower Oil

Sunflower and safflower oils are extracted from the seeds of these plants. 'Expeller pressed' means the oil is extracted using mechanical pressure, without the use of chemical solvents. 'Organic' indicates the seeds were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide fat and richness, and can act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water. They are commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, and snacks.

Sunflower and safflower oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats compared to saturated and trans fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fats and oils, generally finding them safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical dietary intakes.
