What it is

Refined corn oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels. The oil is then refined, bleached, and deodorized to remove impurities and create a neutral-tasting, clear oil suitable for cooking and food manufacturing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-hydrogenated refined corn oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in baked goods, dressings, and snacks. Its neutral flavor and liquid texture make it versatile for frying, baking, and as a base for sauces and marinades.

Health notes

Refined corn oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-6. JECFA has evaluated corn oil and set an acceptable daily intake. Like other vegetable oils, it is a source of calories and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
