Canola Oil Preparation
Canola oil itself is GRAS and one of the lowest-saturated-fat cooking oils. Without specific composition details on the 'preparation' the relevant generic concerns are oxidative degradation in repeated frying and any added carriers/propellants (which are independently regulated).
What it is
Generic term for a canola (rapeseed)-oil-based formulation; typically contains canola oil possibly with emulsifiers, antifoams, antioxidants, or pan-spray propellants.
Cooking oil/spray base.
Why it's flagged
- heat oxidation in deep-fry use
- composition-dependent additives
What regulators actually say
"21 CFR 184.1555 lists rapeseed oil among GRAS direct human food substances."
"USDA FoodData Central provides nutrient profile data for canola oil."
