What it is
Pure corn oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels. It is a common cooking oil produced through processes like milling, steeping, and extraction, often followed by refining to remove impurities.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use corn oil as a cooking oil and a source of fat in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for frying, baking, and as an ingredient in salad dressings and snacks.
Health notes
Corn oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated corn oil. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
