Peanut Canola Cottonseed Oil

This is a blend of three common vegetable oils: peanut oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil. Peanut oil is pressed from roasted peanuts, canola oil comes from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, and cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. These oils are often refined to remove impurities and neutralize flavors.

Oil blends like this are used in packaged foods for their cooking properties, such as a base for frying or as an ingredient in dressings and baked goods. They provide a neutral flavor and a stable texture. This blend is often found in snack foods like popcorn, peanuts, and seeds.

Vegetable oil blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various vegetable oils, generally finding them safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these oils at levels typically found in food.
