Organic Sunflower Organic Expeller Pressed Canola Oil

This is a cooking oil made from sunflower seeds and canola seeds. The seeds are pressed to extract the oil, and the term 'expeller pressed' means mechanical pressure was used, without chemical solvents. 'Organic' means it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Oils like this are used in packaged foods to add richness, improve texture, and carry flavors. They are common in baked goods, snack bars, and salad dressings.

Sunflower and canola oils are fats commonly used in cooking. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes expeller-pressed oils as safe (GRAS) when used for their intended purpose. Major health organizations recommend limiting saturated and trans fats in the diet, and these oils are primarily unsaturated fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various edible oils, generally finding them safe for consumption.
