Organic Olive Oil Organic Sunflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of organic olive oil and organic sunflower oil. Olive oil is extracted from olives, and sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds. Both are vegetable oils, typically obtained through pressing and refining processes, with 'organic' indicating adherence to specific agricultural and processing standards.

Manufacturers use this blend as a source of fat, contributing to the flavor and texture of food products. It is commonly found in dips, salsas, salad dressings, and as a cooking oil.

Both olive oil and sunflower oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As dietary fats, they provide energy and essential fatty acids. When consumed as part of a balanced diet, these oils are considered safe. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dietary fats broadly and consider them safe for consumption as food ingredients.
