Roasted In Peanut And/ Or Canola Oil

This ingredient is made from peanuts and/or canola seeds that have been roasted. The roasting process is often done in peanut oil and/or canola oil to enhance flavor and texture. The oils help to distribute heat evenly during roasting.

Manufacturers use roasted peanuts and/or canola oil to add a rich, savory flavor and a satisfying crunch to foods. They are commonly found in snacks like popcorn, nuts, and seeds, as well as in some baked goods.

Peanuts are one of the FDA's major food allergens. Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While peanuts can be a common allergen, the oils themselves are typically highly refined and may not contain enough allergenic protein to cause a reaction in most people with peanut allergies, though caution is advised. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peanut and canola oils, and have established acceptable daily intakes for them.
