What it is

Rapeseed oil, commonly known as canola oil, is extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. The plant is a member of the mustard family, and the oil is refined to remove compounds that can give it a bitter taste. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States.

Why it's used

Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide variety of food products. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for frying, baking, and as an ingredient in dressings and sauces. It is often found in processed foods like baked goods, snacks, and salad dressings.

Health notes

Canola 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 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have not classified canola oil as a carcinogen. Some debate exists regarding the processing of canola oil, but scientific reviews generally support its safety at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Canola oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
