Sunflower Oil And Smoke And Rendered Bacon Fat

This ingredient is a blend of sunflower oil, smoke flavor, and rendered bacon fat. Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds, while smoke flavor is typically created by burning wood and capturing the smoke. Rendered bacon fat is the fat from pork, cooked to separate the fat from the meat.

This blend is used to add a savory, smoky, and meaty flavor to foods. The fat component contributes to richness and mouthfeel. It is often found in condiments, dips, and spreads where a bacon-like taste is desired.

Sunflower oil is a common cooking oil and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Smoke flavorings are also regulated by the FDA. Rendered animal fats are traditional food ingredients. While bacon fat is high in saturated fat, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse health effects. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for these components individually. JECFA has evaluated smoke flavorings.
