Cargill Clear Valley low saturate canola oil

Clear Valley low-saturate canola oil is a high-stability canola oil with 4 to 4.5% saturated fat, 25% less saturated fat than conventional canola oil. It is claimed to have the lowest amount of saturated fat of any vegetable oil offered to food manufacturers to date.

The oil is expected to allow food manufacturers to differentiate their brand with nutrient content claims such as low in saturated fat, reduced saturated fat or saturated fat free. Primary market research demonstrates that market share gains are possible if companies promote reduced saturated fat as a ‘front of box’ claim.

Cargill claims this technology will enable it to expand its offerings into the ’next generation’ of low-saturate oils by combining seed technology, product development and supply chain capabilities.

The company’s canola oil extends its high oleic product platform and is expected to deliver similar functionality, mouth feel and fry and shelf life stability as its current high oleic canola oils, with the added nutritional benefits that help customers meet their saturated fat goals.

The oil is produced from the company’s Victory hybrid seeds designed by scientists for maximum yield and performance to add value to farm businesses.
