Vegan Mayo Expeller - Pressed Canola Oil

Expeller-pressed canola oil is a vegetable oil extracted from rapeseed (canola seeds) using mechanical pressing rather than chemical solvents. This method is considered more environmentally friendly. It is a neutral-tasting oil commonly used in cooking and food manufacturing.

Canola oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It functions as a fat source, providing texture and mouthfeel, and also acts as an emulsifier to help blend ingredients like oil and water. It is frequently found in salad dressings, baked goods, and vegan mayonnaise.

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 have evaluated canola oil. At typical consumption levels, it is considered part of a healthy diet when balanced with other fats.
