Organic Expeller Pressed Sunflower Safflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of oils extracted from sunflower and safflower seeds. The 'expeller pressed' method means the oil is extracted using mechanical pressure without chemical solvents. 'Organic' indicates the seeds were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Manufacturers use this oil blend for its neutral flavor and healthy fat profile. It's commonly found in snacks like popcorn, cookies, and baked goods, as well as in salad dressings and cooking oils.

Sunflower and safflower oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated oils, and EFSA has reviewed fats and oils. At typical dietary intakes, these oils are not associated with adverse health effects.
