Rice Bran Canola

Rice bran canola is a blend of two different oils: rice bran oil and canola oil. Rice bran oil is extracted from the germ and outer layer of rice grains, while canola oil is derived from rapeseed plants. These oils are often blended to combine their favorable properties, such as a neutral flavor and high smoke point.

Manufacturers use this oil blend for its versatility in cooking and food production. It is suitable for frying, baking, and as an ingredient in salad dressings and sauces due to its mild taste and stability at high temperatures. It is commonly found in snack foods like popcorn and seasoned nuts.

Rice bran canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fat profiles than saturated fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated edible oils, and this blend is considered safe for consumption when used as intended. There are no widespread controversies associated with its use in typical food amounts.
