Sunflower oil, safflower oil, and corn oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. These oils are sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fat options than saturated or trans fats. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various vegetable oils, generally confirming their safety. While these oils are nutritious, excessive intake of any fat can contribute to high calorie consumption.
