What it is
Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palms. Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have low levels of erucic acid. Both are commonly used vegetable oils in food production.
Why it's used
These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in processed foods. They provide fat and texture, and can help blend ingredients. They are found in baked goods, snacks, and many other packaged foods.
Health notes
The FDA considers both palm oil and canola oil to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Both oils are sources of fat, and like all fats, they are calorie-dense. Diets high in saturated fat, found in palm oil, have been linked to increased risk of heart disease. Canola oil is lower in saturated fat. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Neither palm oil nor canola oil are derived from the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
