What canola oil is
Canola oil is the Codex low erucic acid rapeseed oil: oil from low-erucic varieties of Brassica napus. Under the Codex standard it must contain no more than 2% erucic acid (as a share of total fatty acids). Refined canola oil is light in colour and taste and is used for cooking, frying, salad dressings and food manufacturing; crude canola oil is sold to refineries.

Quality parameters
Edible canola oil is traded against the Codex Standard for Named Vegetable Oils (CODEX-STAN 210-1999). Its quality limits for refined oils are:
| Parameter | Codex limit for refined oil |
|---|---|
| Acid value | max. 0.6 mg KOH/g |
| Peroxide value | max. 10 meq active oxygen/kg |
| Matter volatile at 105°C (moisture) | max. 0.2% |
| Insoluble impurities | max. 0.05% |
| Soap content | max. 0.005% |
| Iron / copper | max. 1.5 mg/kg / 0.1 mg/kg |
Crude oil is bought for refining and is traded on contract specifications instead, mainly free fatty acids (FFA), moisture and impurities. The offer states the values for the lot, and SGS checks them before shipment.
