Canola Oil
Canola Oil appears in 29,766 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Canola Oil appears in 29,766 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 8014 of 29766 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1/2 Cheese Pizza & 1/2 Pepperoni Pizza; 10 Flour Tortillas; 100 Calorie Snack Packs Baked Chocolate Wafer Snacks to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Canola Oil itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
8014 of 29,766 linked records have some flagged component
All 29088 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
