What it is

Rapeseed oil, also known as canola oil, is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. The plant is a member of the mustard family. The oil is extracted from the seeds and then refined.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rapeseed oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Its neutral flavor and relatively low cost make it a versatile choice for baked goods, dressings, and fried foods.

Health notes

Rapeseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated rapeseed oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies suggest a link between high intake of certain fats and health outcomes, but the evidence is mixed and intake levels vary widely.

Allergen info

Rapeseed oil is not derived from one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
