Roasted In Expeller Pressed Canola Sunflower Oil

This ingredient is a blend of oils derived from canola and sunflower seeds. The oils are extracted using an expeller press, a mechanical method that doesn't use chemical solvents. The oils are then roasted to enhance flavor.

Manufacturers use this oil blend for its roasted flavor and cooking properties. It is often found in snacks like roasted nuts and seeds, as well as popcorn, where its flavor complements the other ingredients.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes expeller-pressed oils as safe (GRAS) when used for their intended purpose. Canola and sunflower oils are common dietary fats. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated edible oils, but specific evaluations for this blend are not publicly detailed. At typical consumption levels found in snacks, these oils contribute calories and fatty acids to the diet.
