What it is
Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. Canola oil is extracted from the seeds and refined for use in food.
Why it's used
Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers use it as a cooking medium, a base for salad dressings, and an ingredient in baked goods and processed foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it suitable for frying, baking, and sautéing.
Health notes
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. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies suggest potential benefits of unsaturated fats for heart health, while others raise questions about processing methods. Evidence is mixed and ongoing.
Allergen info
Canola is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not derived from any of these allergens. It does not contain gluten.
