The Following: Expeller Pressed Canola Oil

Expeller-pressed canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The expeller-pressing method uses mechanical pressure to extract the oil, without the use of chemical solvents. This process is considered a more natural way to produce oil.

Manufacturers use expeller-pressed canola oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in baked goods, dressings, and sauces. Its neutral flavor and relatively high smoke point make it versatile. It is often chosen by consumers seeking oils produced without chemical solvents.

Expeller-pressed canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated canola oil and its components. Current research does not indicate significant health concerns at typical dietary intakes.
