Pea Fiber High Oleic Sunflower Safflower Oil

Pea fiber is a dietary fiber derived from peas. It is typically produced by milling dried peas and then separating the fiber components from the protein and starch. High oleic sunflower or safflower oil is a vegetable oil that has been processed to increase its oleic acid content, which makes it more stable at higher temperatures.

Pea fiber is added to foods as a source of dietary fiber, contributing to texture and mouthfeel. High oleic sunflower or safflower oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in processed foods for its stability and neutral flavor. They are often found together in snack foods like puffed snacks.

Pea fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a source of dietary fiber, it can contribute to digestive health. High oleic oils are considered a source of monounsaturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food additives, but specific evaluations for this combination are not widely publicized. Evidence regarding the health impacts of specific fiber types and oils is continually being reviewed.
