Refined Canola Oil

Description

In October ***6, its high amount of unsaturated fat earned it authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a qualified health claim. The claim is: "Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 1 tablespoons (*9 grams) of canola oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the unsaturated fat content in canola oil. To achieve this possible benefit, canola oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains [x] grams of canola oil."

The low level of saturated fats and wide range of functionality has made canola oil a popular option for food services looking to decrease trans fats in their food. Recently, KFC in Canada, Taco Bell throughout North America and McDonald's in the U.S. have switched to using canola oil or a canola oil blend in their food service operations.
