Sunflower Seed Safflower Seed Canola Highly Refined Soybean

This ingredient is a blend of highly refined oils derived from sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, and soybeans. Refining these oils removes impurities, flavors, and colors, resulting in a neutral-tasting oil that is stable for cooking and food manufacturing.

Highly refined oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in processed foods. Their neutral flavor and high smoke point make them suitable for frying, baking, and as a base for dressings and sauces. They are often found in snacks like chips and pretzels.

Highly refined oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily a source of fat, contributing calories to the diet. Like other fats, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated and trans fats.
