Summary

This product is sunflower oil, which is a processed culinary ingredient. Sunflower oil is considered a seed oil and is often penalized due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content, which can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess. The processing level and the nature of the oil result in a moderate score, as it lacks the health benefits associated with oils like extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
