Two Percent Or Less Of The Following: Canola Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed. Canola oil is produced by crushing the seeds to extract the oil, which is then refined.

Canola oil is a common cooking oil used in a variety of processed foods. Manufacturers add it as a source of fat and to improve texture and mouthfeel. It is frequently found in baked goods, dressings, sauces, and fried products.

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. Some studies suggest that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats like those in canola oil may benefit heart health. However, research on the health effects of highly processed vegetable oils is ongoing, and some consumer groups have raised concerns about its processing methods.
