What it is

A natural oil blend is a mixture of different edible vegetable oils. Manufacturers create these blends to achieve specific flavor, texture, or performance characteristics in food products. The exact composition can vary widely depending on the intended use.

Why it's used

Natural oil blends are used as fats and oils in a wide variety of processed foods. They can provide moisture, improve texture, and act as carriers for flavors. Common applications include baked goods, margarines, shortenings, and frozen foods.

Health notes

Natural oil blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of dietary fat, providing energy and essential fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various edible oils, and they are widely used in the food supply. The health effects are primarily related to the type and amount of fat consumed, aligning with general dietary recommendations.

Allergen info

Depending on the specific oils used in the blend, it may contain or be derived from major allergens like soy or tree nuts. Consumers should check the ingredient list for specific oil sources. Gluten is not typically associated with vegetable oil blends.
