What it is

Safflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant. It is a neutral-flavored oil that is commonly used in cooking and food manufacturing. Safflower oil is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have not set specific intake limits for safflower oil, but recommend a balanced intake of fats. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
