Amber: Canola Oil

The Label says, Cholesterol Free, which is not factually true.
Canola Oil has 0.9 Grams of Saturated Fat in a Tablespoon.

Country of Origin, the label claims is United Arab Emirates. Really? Since when did the UAE start cultivating Canola? Has anyone seen a Canola farm in the UAE?

What they really mean is that the canola oil is produced in the UAE (from imported seeds) - and bottled too!

The additives/ preservatives in the oil are the synthetic Anti-Oxidants BHA & BHT (E320 & E321)

These additives are used in prevent rancidity in fats and oils.
