Organic Expeller-pressed Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seeds. Organic expeller-pressed sunflower oil is made without the use of chemical solvents, using mechanical pressure (expelling) to extract the oil from the seeds. It is a common cooking oil and ingredient.

Manufacturers use sunflower oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient for its fat content and neutral flavor. It adds richness and helps with texture in baked goods, snacks, and dressings. It is often found in cookies, crackers, and salad dressings.

Sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated sunflower oil and found no safety concerns. Current research does not indicate adverse health effects from typical consumption.
